Yes, you must tell him.
We get pissed off at our PDOCS because they don't help us, it's a two way street. We have to give them as much info as possible.
It was your right to stop the Parnate and he should help you find something that works.
Please tell him
Good luck.

> 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.
