> You need to understand that MAOIs are a lifestyle, and you need to be totally commited to this lifestyle. It's a diet, though it's not as
hmmm.... the MAOI diet doesn't bother me at all... it's just not something i think about other than the 1 or 2 minutes a day when i first began selecting meals...
>especially psuedophedrine and dextromethoraphan. Eating out and going to
ah... are these popular?? i actually never took them before so i really don't feel like i'm missing out at all
>parties requires both vigilence and diplomacy- you'll need to suddenly become allergic to dairy.
hmmmm... i don't think milk is prohibited... i think you can pretty much go for anything except marmite, fava beans, tap beer, aged cheese and spoiled meat ... soy sauce must be taken in moderation
>indicated for anergic depression and/ or social phobia. You sound anergic. Another current theory
yeah... SSRIs are supposed to be indicated for social phobia, but they didn't do anything close to what Parnate has done for me (and at the lowest dose, after only 6 weeks!)
>anergicly depressed but insomnia can be a real problem. You want to start a low dose and go up slowly.
... insomnia is thought to be much easier to treat than hypersomnia...
probably because sleeping agents react much less with other meds than stimulants ... and have a more benign effect...> What these folks who've never been trained in psychiatry don't know is that Zyprexa and MAOIs are a disastrous combination; I don't remember what the famous psychopharmacologist said would happen, but only use Risperdol with MAOIs. Or the old drugs. Some people still like
i'd really be interested in knowing why this is...
> I'd try the Nardil and see. You'll need to give it a good couple of months to work. Parnate is rougher stuff and you might want to save it for second. Nardil supposedly causes weight gain,
hmmm... in many ways i think parnate has a much more benign side effect profile...
weight loss, increased libido, no hypotension, energy ...in fact my doc said while he would perscribe parnate as a first line med ... he never perscribes nardil cuz he thinks the side effect profile is just too horrendous
don't get me wrong though... i'm sure it's a LOT better than depression/anxiety
