I wanted to reply to you as I don't have a good answer but feel in such similar straits. After a spectacular recovery on Prozac that lasted for a year it pooped out on me and never worked again despite dosage changes, etc. That was 15 years ago (!!) and I've been looking ever since. (am I remembering this correctly, did you post about the same kind of reaction recently... it really rang a bell with me) I heard parnate was the gold standard and like you struggled for 2 years to find a dr. willing to prescribe it. Been 6 weeks now and I'm maybe 35% better, with lots of bad side effects. Personally I don't know what's next as I've blown through everything: stimulants, lamictal, lithium, wellbutrin, exercising, herbs, etc. At tremendous expense with very little benefit. Just wish I could feel like I did back then... the one year of my life I was "normal." The word "electroshock" keeps coming up for me... going to stick it out on Parnate at higher dosage awhile longer... it was so hard to get, and hard for me (as I'm sure it is for you) to let go of the hope. Did you ever consider switching from Nardil to Parnate... may not help but why not, if you've found someone willing to prescribe MAOIs? best wishes, I totally understand how you feel.
