> Not at all. . .the last time I had a DX was about 17 yrs ago, when I started getting depressive episodes and my pdoc called it Major Depression. But I know that my depression doesn't neatly fit the screwy categories of the DSM. I get nearly all th symptoms of Major Depression (incl.early awakening, loss of appetite and weight) but also bad anxiety and heart palpitations. So what is this? Atypical depression or not? Whatever it is, the Parnate knocks out all the symptoms.
sounds like melancholic depression (less sleep, less appetite, weight loss, no mood reactivity) ... atypical is more like more sleep, more appetite, weight gain, mood reactivity
maybe that's why my doc won't let me increase my parnate dose, because i'm bipolar, hmmmmmmm.... but this mood stabiliser is doing so well
