> ThanksIt worked for sleep until I went on Parnate and then used Chloral Hydrate at night. This was in the mid 1980's. I no longer needed any antidepressant medications by 1993 and took none until last year when I got depressed again over lots of health things going wrong with me. In the past and in the past year, I have been tried on lots of antidepressant medications with lots of side affects and/or adverse reactions. Parnate worked well then and now, but I did not want to continue with the Parnate for a variety of reasons. I am now on Lamictal, 100 mg. per day. I am still feeling depressed, more at times and less at times. I am in therapy as well as med's with my psychiatrist who thinks that a big part of my depression is related to issues I am grappling with at this time. He does not want to up the Lamictal at this time.
