was it your idea or your doctor's to put you on nortrip. the MAOI plus TCA combo seems to be a bit dangerous -- i should have asked you what dose of parnate and nortrip you're on as well. i've heard of MAOI + desipramine, since it doesn't have any serotonin effects, but nortrip seems more dangerous. do you think it's working for you via it's norep or serotonin mechanisms. did you ever consider desipramine?
also, how did you settle on 20mg of abilify...did you notice increasing benefits from a lower dose, and if so, what did those benefits look like?
i know everyone's different, i just want to make sure i myself am doing all i can. parnate is a partial miracle for me but I know I need something else. what that something else is is to be decided on Tuesday at my next appointment. also trying rTMS starting next week, so i'm hoping the end of my 5 month long crushing depression is near.
