> I haven't taken Nardil, but I've had lots of augmentation to Parnate (another MAOI). I've had Ritalin, Dexedrine, lithium, Visken, Neurontin, and Risperdal with the Parnate (not all at once, of course) along with Ambien and temazepam. There are lots of options if you have an open-minded Pdoc.

Hi Kim.I would imagine that you added these things because Parnate alone was unsatisfactory. Most likely, I will be beginning Parnate within the next few weeks and combining it with things like desipramine, Adderal, Mirapex, Lamictal, Neurontin, Synthroid, and possibly lithium - all at once.
I would like to ask a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering them.
1. What is your diagnosis?
2. How would you describe your depression?
3. What has been the course of your illness?
- Does it come and go?
- Has there ever been rapid-cyclicity involved?
- How long have your good periods been versus your bad?
4. Why was it necessary to augment Parnate?
5. Which combination(s) have been successful?
6. What other drugs have you been partially responsive to?
7. How well are you doing now?
8. For how long have you remained well.
9. Do you have an innie or an outie. Oops. Sorry.
Gosh. That was more than just a few questions. Any input would be great.Thanks.
Sincerely,
Scott
