Hey all. Its been 10 days since I took my last dose of Parnate. Anyway im feeling better, not as depressed but im still depressed. Im on 10mg of Zyprexa and 1000 of Depakote, I dont know what I could add to help with the depression?
My pdoc has tried upping the Depakote but my blood levels increase so much even If I only add 200mg, I seem to be rather sensitive to this drug.
Should I be honest with my pdoc and tell him that I stopped Parnate? Im scared he will lecture me, but its starting to feel so much nicer not worrying about what I can and cant eat.
Maybe I should ask if i can go on Lamictil? I really dont know. I have been on so many antidepressants (17 to be exact) and they really dont work for me so I dont think I want to try another one. I know if I tell him that I went off Parnate because of the side effects (nausea and fatigue mainly also sexual dysfunction) that he will want me to try Nardil but I really REALLY dont ever want to go back on an MAOI. I know these drugs can help a lot of people but personaly I just want to stay clear of this class of antidepressants.
Again any suggestions would be great. Thanks heaps and take care.
