Join the party. < g >
You're so right about this board. It's a great source of information. Although on the other hand, that sometimes leaves us feeling like we know more than our doctors do, which isn't entirely pleasant (unless you're really narcissistic :-) ).
> I did have success with lamictal, but it gave me an immediate 15lb weight gain.
I'll note that for future reference. I don't think I'd ever heard of weight gain from Lamictal.
> I do have to give this guy credit though for putting me on oxycontin--that did take some bravery.
No kidding, especially with the reaming that OxyContin is getting in the popular press. (Sensationalistic garbage, IMO.)
> Yet in the long run, I am choosing next to try Parnate.
I'd like to hear about how that goes for you. Are you going to continue taking Concerta and oxycodone?
> AND this guy doesn't return phone calls and makes you wait forever for your eight minute appt.
All the good ones are flakes. < g > (Not entirely true, but a lot of them are.)
> BTW, I think your idea of doing nardil with a stimulent is an excellent one. I loved nardil (when it worked) because I never felt shaky or drugged. And I didn't gain weight. YMMV!
Lucky! But it stopped working for you too? (At least it didn't leave you with an extra 50 lbs!)
