> As far as what i need,i dont know,at times a stimulant helped parnate work better,other times a sedative,its just not giving me the relief i need and i cant use ssris so i dont see many options for another primary med,but thank u.Have you tried any of the other anti-depressants? TCAs or the newer ADs like Effexor, Cymbalta, Remeron, Wellbutrin, etc? If Parnate ain't cuttin' it, there are other options that you could explore...
I've just been going through the whole Merry-Go-Round, and it's frustrating and frightening. Yesterday I broke into tears in my pdoc's office, nearly going into that choking fear state, when he said that he really wasn't sure what to do for me. You can imagine, so I won't belabor the point. :-P I'm just trying to let you know that I'm not being *too* simple in writing that, I do know how awful it can be.
Since the MAOIs are so hard to combine other drugs with, though, maybe trying one of the other options would give you a bit more flexibility in augmentation strategies?
Good luck.
