Hi Lorraine.

Just wondered if you had heard anything from her.< < < < < < <I don't think you need to worry about Elizabeth. I looked back and her pdoc is not leaving unti August. Maybe she just went away for a few days.

I'm doing well with the meds, although I have felt physically sick, migraines etc. all week; finally today I just started my period, so my body hopefully will demand less of my attention. The only thing about the oxycontin is that I am still on the original dose and the feeling of a little bit of high has never left. It's not a big problem, just better to decide when I want to get high, not start out my day that way.My doctor sort of has this attitude that you mix a bunch of stuff together and if it works there's no need to dissect it. I sort of disagree because I would rather put less than more into my body. (BTW, I didn't have this attitude when I was feeling suicidally depressed; I started segeligine and oxycontin at the same time.) But now I think I'll do the oxycontin and estradiol, add natural progesterone and see what happens. I've just done the estradiol for a couple of days now. I had two pretty bad migraines this week and I couldn't have taken the pill I took for them (forget the name, dissolves under the tongue) if I was on an MAOI.
Anyway, I'm feeling stable enough to wait, if a bit drugged. Maybe the estradiol will be my miracle and I could drop the oxy. Probably not though, since I have a long history of depression. But maybe estradiol and nardil, oxy prn. I'll see.
Has your pdoc been encouraging you to take nardil over parnate or vice-versa. Let me know what he said and which you've choosen.
