Ugh! These last couple of posts have made me very sad. I know I have to share this information
with my husband and I fear it will mean he won't try Parnate. He doesn't believe it will help his
depression (b/c he has tried SO many other meds. that have not helped), so he sees these restrictions
and precautions as very extreme for no benefit. Obviously, he would feel differently if the Parnate
helped, but he can't even imagine it helping in his current state of mind. The Parnate also scares me
because if it does not help, it seems like it will be giving a person with pretty strong suicidal ideations
as very easy means of hurting himself. I'm not sure what I am asking here. I'm just feeling
scared and uncertain of how to proceed. I realize in the end these decisions lie with him, but
he seems to really be at the end of his rope and not able to make good choices for himself.
Thanks for listening.
