What you should do is search the web for a supplier of bulk tranylcypromine [sulfate, hemisulfate, hydrochloride] powder. Then, get a scale accurate to a few milligrams. You can dose it out individually into capsules, or mix it with an inert ingredient (magnesium stearate, cellulose), buy a cap-m-qwik, and with a little practice, you can make, let's say, 25mg Parnate caps. That is what I did. I took 4 in the morning and then 1 every three hours starting 4-6 hours after the 100mg dose. If you can't take 100mg at once because of hypotension, split it up to around 30mg every 2 hours, you get the idea. When I went on buprenorphine, I switched to taking it all in the morning, because the bupe kept it from being overstimulating at night. The combo is basically a legal, safe, and healthy speedball.
Even if I had insurance, I probably would try to buy the bulk powder first, because it would be a royal pain carrying around 20 tablets.
Right now, because the bupe is doing so well, I am giving Nardil a shot to see if I like it overall more than Parnate. If I didn't have the bupe'e strong positive effect on motivation, Nardil probably wouldn't be enough.
