best augmentation agents to use with Parnate

Posted by TylerJ on January 24, 2006, at 19:55:07

I have had treatment resistant depression and social anxiety disorder for about 24 years. I've tried nearly every medication available with little success. In 1997 I was hospitalized and given 24 ECT treatments that barely helped for a short while. I also tried the maoi's and had a good initial response with Parnate. It made me feel better by far than any other drug i had tried. The problem was that it didn't last. The only drug used at that time for augmentation was cytomel, and I was also taking and still am taking 6 mgs. of ativan a day. I felt great for a few days then Parnate would "poop-out" and my pdoc would increase the dose And I would do great for a few days, etc. finally I was up to 140 mgs. of parnate 100 mg. a.m. and 40mg early afternoon. when it quit working my doc took me off it. I also experienced insomnia, and afternoon parnate fatigue. Anyway, it's now 2006 and my same pdoc thinks we should try Parnate again. I agree, but what I have learned is that you must augment parnate with other drugs-mood stabilizers etc. to keep it working. My pdoc agrees with this. So anyone with knowledge of the best augmentation drugs to combine with parnate please help me out. My pdoc says he's open to most things except stimulants. Any suggestions will be appreciated- I'm so tired of feeling lousy!!

sincerely,

TylerJ
