I am happy to say I am back to normal if there is such a concept. I am going off of the Parnate as well (with psychiatrist's agreement). I have had a number of health issues that came on all at once and why I got depressed and sought out a psychiatrist who specilizes in persons with co-occuring physical and emotional problems. I am now down to 20 mg. per day Parnate and obviously cannot yet tell if this will be problematic. I have been on 20 mg. per day now for only four days. We agreed on the gradual reduction in case I start to feel depressed again. I am hoping not. My physical condition is improving, etc. though there are some issues from the past that we began to adress before my pulmonary condition took a down turn.
It has been suggested to me that we should consider Lamictal as an alternative to the Parnate. I am extremely concerned givin that I have ended up with so many adverse reactions and allergic reactions to the psychotropic medications in the past year.
