Hi Scott,
Thanks very much for the reply - I follow your posts on a regular basis.
Your thinking is correct, I have not given the Parnate an adaquate trial (only about 10 days @ 30 mg.) but I hate the short half life, constipation, and afternoon "sleep attacks". After 3:00 PM I just don't function.....can't think, can't focus - feels like psychosis.
DX = Major Unipolar Depressed/Melancholic/Chronic. Don't seem to have any problem with social phobia or social anxiety it's just the terrable fatigue and lethargy, plus depression that is so miserable. I feel like I need high doses of Prozac and high doses of pstims. May get the Prozac but pstims are unlikely.
I did use Ludimil (tetracyclic) for several years while I was still working. I was able to function on it (until the inevitable poop-out) but never felt as well as I did on Prozac.
I am running out of strength.....if I can last through the next two weeks until all the Parnate is out of my system I will probably try high dose Prozac.
Thanks for your response,
Geezer
