Having OCD like sympotms i have thought about cloimiprimmine,also i see enough success to try nortrptyline.These are 2 id consider.Amtrip i already use for sleep and other than sedating i dont see it being more than effective for mostly sleep like trazadone.
Ah but the one thing i forgot to mention,another reason other than fear for which im haulted from stopping parnate at the momment is im in a year long program where my parnate is free.I could never afford at the moment AD medication daily.
I know thats not saying much if the med i get free is not helping,also i do plan on a time comming soon where i will have insurance to try a different med,i would prob go for cloimprimine for its success with ocd while keeping a low dose stimulant to ease me off parnate.
Like phillpa said it best,it is scary when u become fine tuned to a med,know it well,and face the fear of leaving it behind to start a new voyage on a different drug,it is enough to make butterflies in my stomach right now.
Thanks for the response,the two u mentioned would be likly one of the two id start.
