BTW I have done the Parnate thing 12 years ago..pooped out on me, after it made me hypo-manic enough to start a very successful business and then see it go out the window to the usual highs and lows of addictive stuff like alcohol and gambling( whole 'nother story!) and could not tolerate Nardil. Let me Know what good and up to date links you may have . I am positive millions more suffer from Atyp Dep and Anxiety than ANY SSRI could evr touch.then add in the bi-polar spectrum.........what a mess!!
Thanks
