> Yes, I was talking about Marplan. I've been on 35 mgs for about 4 days, so I'll try 40 mgs in another few days. If I still feel like crap by the time I see my doctor on the 15th, I'm quitting. Marplan hasn't done anything positive for me and it's been 12 weeks. :(

>Well, 60 mg is the max dose for Marplan & you've touched just over half that. Many people need 90mg Nardil before it kicks in. But if you can't take the side effcts then I dont blame you.
So if you quit whats next on your list? Could you not try augmenting the Marplan first? Even just to get you by untill you CAN increase the dose? Maybe some Provigil or something. By the time Provigil poops out (often after around a month with DAILY use) you may get away with hiting 50mg Marplan without negative effects. Or why not try your pdoc's lamotrigine suggestion?
Whatever you do I hope all goes well for you.
