Yes, the mini rant was the better choice. So did this guy have *any* ideas? Are you considering buprenorphine? You're on lamictal and klonpin, and anything else? I'd think I'd go for the bup if I were you. But then again, this is coming from someone who is taking oxycontin for depression. And I did start parnate yesterday and I am feeling optimistic since I haven't had any side effects, but I'm expecting it to take at least a few weeks if not more to feel an AD affect.
What about hopping over to France for a consult?
take it easy, Shelli
