Thanks for the tip about iron. I actually have to plan out when I take my meds, supps, and vitamins to get the optimum absorption, since I take a pre-natal vitamin with Iron and also calcium and magnesium. It's really annoying how I have to impose such structure on my routine. But I suppose it helps me remember.
I am thinking of switching primarily because of weight gain on Nardil. Also, at my usual dose, I've been sleeping more and more. I didn't think you could augment an MAOI with a stimulant. Everything I've read suggests they are contraindicated, although I suppose with careful monitoring it would be okay. I'm not sure what my pdoc will say, at any rate.
But I was hoping that Parnate would stop the weight gain (actually I hope it will help me lose) and also be a touch more stimulating since I have been sleeping so much.
My alternative is to go up on the Nardil dose to 67.5 mg. But then the weight gain continues, and I start getting edema. Ugh.
Still thinking about this, and actually, I'm pretty sure my pdoc will not jump at the idea.
