Judy - I saw your post, read it, was thinking about it, got distracted, and then forgot about it. (cowering in shame) I am very sorry.Serotoninergic drugs don't seem to be helpful.
For now, I think you should continue with Parnate and take things one step at a time.
1. Increase the dosage to 80mg.
2. Go get that consultation in Boston - Andrew Nierenberg at Massachussetts General Hospital / Harvard.
3. Get a referral for a new doctor.
4. Get a new doctor if you are comfortable with this.
5. Keep your ears open for other suggestions.
6. Continue to have orgasms in the mean time.Possibilities:
1. Using the stimulant/dopaminergic drugs I listed in the previous post as adjuncts to Parnate.
- Ritalin
- Dexedrine
- Mirapex
2. Add low-dose lithium 300-600mg
3. Add thyroid.
4. Add a tricyclic
5. Add low-dose neuroleptic (Zyprexa, Risperdal, Seroquel)
6. Add amisulpride - I'm looking into this for myself.
Try making a list of all of the drugs that improved your depression - no matter how little, how long, and regardless of side effects.* Is there any history of mental illness in your family?
Sincerely,
Scott
