Did you get up to a decent doseage with Parnate? I've thought a little more about it & I would say that Zyprexa would block the effects of stimulants somewhat. If you have ADD I would say that you would be much better off with a Benzo + something stimulating rather than an AP.

> Hi, yes I was on Parnate before but it didn't help too much so that's why I'm trying Nardil now. I didn't try the Zyprexa whil on Parnate so I don't know how that might have worked. Today I'm increasing the Nardil to 75mg so will see how that goes. I have lots of trouble with depression and social anxiety, but also with ADD. That's why I'm interested in taking Adderall but don't know if I can take a large enough dose of it to really be helpfull.

I'm also taking 60mg Nardil. My doctor agreed to let me start on a small dose of adderall (2.5mg), but I haven't started it yet. The reason for the adderall was to help with my severe lack of enery and symptons of ADD. Besides the concern of taking Adderal with an MAOI, he was concerned that the adderall would counteract the Zyprexa. I'm don't really know how Zyprexa and Adderall work or if they would work against each other.

Have you tried Parnate? It maybe usefull for the ADD & Depression since Zyprexa should cover anxiety.
