Willyee,
I would caution you. You appear aware of the manic state-good, though maniac is pretty close:) . I wonder as I too had access to overseas parnate. The problem for me with the manic state is that it, over time, becomes schizotypal. I've never had such a history, and now I'm afraid of parnate, because its causes both the manic conditions-delusions of granduer etc, but also auditory and worse, visual-paranoid hallucinations. This has occured 3 times now. Depressed, go back to parnate, have psychosis/mania, stop parnate, depressed, try parnate again. The med has induced a bipolar state, which is a tad more complex, and has higher liability, than merely depression.
This is unbearably frustrating. I think Im opting out of the MAOI option and hitting wellbutrin, just so I don't play up the van-gogh syndrome one ounce more. Its ironic, the creativity I find parnate fuels is seductive-ohhh so seductive, but the price I've paid is too high (or so i feel currently). Luckily, I've only hurt myself and worried the sh*t out of others. But even that is too great.
Point being: I wonder if the overseas (goldshield) is different.
I even put myself on seroquel for a few days to kill the mania, and was left with the zombie tranq feeling. I think of it as a necessary evil, but that's just me. Even 25mg zaps me like a concussion.
I have heard that one can combine lithium w/parnate as a stabalizer, but that requires more costly blood tests etc.
If you've tried seroquel, and have not had the zombie sedation, then you might discuss that w/doc.
I'm in rough shape my friend. Though robbery, heartbreak, and infidelity, are parts of my puzzle, mania is a dangerous game to play. A tad like russian roulette.
Most simple solution.
LOWER DOSAGE.best,
8ted
