I guess I could try Parnate. at my last pdoc appointment, my doc casually said "And don't worry too much, if Nardil doesn't work we can talk about ECT". He threw ECT in the conversation like it was some sort of gentle massage therapy. Great, just what I need, ECT... But Nardil SEEMS to be working, it's certainly better than any of the numerous other drugs I've tried, and I still have lots of room to increase the dose. So for know, it is still my salvation.

Can I be in the Nardil Buddy group two?
I would be interested to know if a dose increase helps, (if your talking over 1mg per 1kg)
I dont reckon you should try ECT, the success rate of it dosn't come close to outweighing the side effects.
Nardil is a healthy walk in the park compared to getting ya brain zapped.
If it badly poops out on me I will try augmenting
with Bupropion or a primary NA tricyclic.
Tried those?
