> > Thank you, Kim. Did your doc. try to augment your Parnate with mood stabiliers first or did he go straight on to stimulants? Did Parnate by itself have some effect? With me it's having no effect whatsoever. Thanks Jan

So we went to the dexedrine, since I've been on just about everything else in one combination or another and we knew that the dexedrine helped the overwhelming fatigue I get on almost all ADs. (Even Prozac.)
