Every antidepressant other than parnate has caused me adverse reactions or allergic reactions such as rashes, etc. I don't know what to say as I have tried probably 15 different anti-depresant med's. Now Parnate does not seem to work either. Lamictal was mentioned to add, but I am reluctant given all of the adverse reactions I have had to almost all psychotropic medications. Elsewhere on psychobabble, I posted about what happened to me adding Risperidone so I could sleep at night. I am actually thinking of going off the Parnate too. My psychiatrist told me to hold off until Friday so we could discuss. I see him for therapy and med's every week for 50 minutes and am tired of the whole thing. I have had too many bad experiences with the med's.
