> What meds were you on before, and what are you on now? I've noticed tons of people use MAO's. Is it because no SSRI's or other atipical AD's work for you? Or is it the country you live in. I don't know of anyone who takes them around here NC,VA, where I worked in the field until I became ill. Maxine, what other drugs are you taking, and what is your dx if I may ask. Fondly, Phillipa
I actualy live in Virginia Beach now,and am in my late 20`s.My first med,i mean drug was handed to me while i went through what now i know was external depression,it was effexor.I felt different,but had no clue at 18 what these drugs were,i thought it was me.So the more i took the more i went back complaining,and that started a med-go-round that lasted five years.
I quickly went through every ssris,then had the benzos,then the mood stablizers were tried,then just about every srris was re-tried,combined etc,each different doc had their own cocktail startegery,i had a bag full of bottles of every med there was,i usualy stayed on any of them no longer than 6 weeks as i could not bear it.
I let myself go to a hopsital at one point,onl to find no actual docters reside there,only 19 counslers wanting to talk about emotions as i sit there a trmebling mess,i quickly left.
I found parnate through www.remedyfind.com still a great resource.
I went through quite a few docs who refused to prescribe it,even letting one convince me it would not help and letting her re-try a failed combo.
Finaly i called the company,had data sheets sent,printed out bunch of stuff,took family members to a new doc,and just about threatened (lol) her to prescribe it,you know the brooklyn accent can come in handy.
Actualy this new doc was older,had rembered its use,and had no problem with it.Since then she has been open to augmenting it for me since i never in 4 years called her office,or complained of problems other than poop out.
I am now having certain problems with her concerning papaer work for getting the med through the company,she seems to be getting older and ready to maybe retire,not looking to do much anymore.
This scares me cause i dont wanna have to go search for a docter who will provide me it.I also dont wanna resort to oredering it online without script which i will if need be.
Its funny before parnate i switched docters routnly,once on it that doc became my permanent one for 4 years and counting now,she resembles judge judy,so imagine the fun in approaching her.
To answer yor question though lol,it is a hard med in this are to have prescribed,takes some doing.
To answer your second question,parnate is like the bottom of a pizza pie,its m foundation,i dont take many other script meds aside from klonopin and occasional beta blocker.
I do however try many augment strategys with herbs and such since parnate is the king of all poop out meds,i listen to my body if i feel sluggish i combine it with vivarin,if i feel over amped,ill take a small pieace of klonopin,parate seems to have different actions,that seem to vary non stop,extremly unconsistent for me,but still a main stay in treament.
I unfrotuantly can not say a single good word about any of the meds i have taken,of all of them they ALL hurt me deeply,robbed a pieace of my soul,of who i was.
Gabitril and seraquel were to script meds that were ok in conjunction with parnate,and thats about it.
P.S If i read you correctly and you said your in the Va/Nc area,then chances are youre not to far from me,feel free to email me brklyn234@yahoo.com
