I'm about ready to call it a day..a side effect from parnate has worsened my fibromyalgia to the point where I'm having trouble getting out of my chair. It's causing me to have spasms or muscle clenching in my sleep and being in a constant fibro flare is just bringing my mood lower.
He mentioned revisiting some of the SSRI's that worked really well for me in the past. We did try Zoloft (my fav) again before the MAOI's but it didn't work and at 200 mg...well lets just say my bowels objected mightily!
I tried resperidone but it make me very agitated and anxious. I do take a small amount of seroquel at bedtime.
The two SSRI's that I had a great response to were Zoloft and Lexapro, but the dreaded poop out always happens. I wish there was something to stop that from happening.
I dread coming off yet another med..I had an awful time coming off Nardil.
With your permission I'd like to print your post and take it to my pdoc, as I can't retain much in my pea brain right now.
I'll post again after I see my pdoc. Thanks to all who responded..I have a feeling I'm going to need some support.
Your post hit home Bleauberry. I just kept hoping that it would kick in..but the apathy and lack of motivation, notwithstanding the worsening of a chronic pain condition, has to be addressed.
