Am i advising you to go off Parnate. No. However, i must be honest of my concern/suspiscion of combining the two drugs..i just can't help but wonder if the Parnate may interfer with how Lyrica affects the brain. On the other side of the coin, i might be completely wrong, they might work very well together. Sorry, tough question????

I agree with your entire assesment,one of parnates attributes is it tends to not particulary have interactions,but instead sorta MELT into secondary drugs.Nurontion for example,parnate plus this drug can give you you a very different feel from either one alone.With that said,im 27,been on this maoi at least 5 years so you can imagine i was not handed it....what im geting to here is i dont have an option for ssris,i spent approx 6 years on them,having been on just about all of them,alone,in cocktail,etc....and i dont more than not respond,i got worse,and i simply could not tolerate them.That is how i ever discovered a maoi even exsisted because i was near the end.
So i have a lot of thinking to do,i just wish i felt my docter was behind me,im going to have to do something about that,but at this point im noticing severe obsessing,so bad to the point im only going out for errands and stuff,its sad to see yourself detariate,ah cant spell that,but on a final note one thing i think im gonna do that we both share is go to 1 mg of klonopin.At this point what worse could a more benzo dependance affect my life then the point im at.
Sorry to roll off topic so,thanks for the info,i will stay on this trial regardless but im starting to think i was more obsessed about not being allowed it than actualy having it.
Thanks much
