Parnate is not registered here ;( Neither is Cymbalta. What do you mean by "HPA axis"? That sounds interesting that any progress is being made. Personally, I have all electrolytes is balance. Haven't checked my FT3,FT4 blood levels and catecholamine concentrations in urine yet.
As for the other post, Lexapro is not registered too. Only Celexa.
I was thinking about Mirapex, but it's quite expensive, and I don't know if I'd convince my doc to prescribe it off label.
> It seems our conditions have many similarities. Your are more fortunate since I am currently 45 and have been stuggling with this forever. I do respond quite well to Parnate. Unfortunately it loses its efficacy after 3 months. Maybe it will be effective long term for you. I am currently trying Cymbalta with an occasional Nizoral(to lower Cortisol). Many of us have an imbalance in our endocrine system. It's encouraging to finally see some progress in the understanding of HPA axis irregularities in people with mood disorders. It looks like it will be a few years until treatments are available. I just encourage you to try treatments that are out there now. We just need to get by till these disorders are understood and appropriate treatments are here. Best wishes.
