> thank you so much. I can't believe you remembered how they upped my dose, I am back at 75 not felling anny good effects, but feeling depressed, I was thing of staying at 75 for another few weeks, and hopefullt an augmentation. I don't think my pdoc. will give me anything, but what if I told her I would take resposibilty and that I feel I am desperate and very depressed which I feel, or ask her what she would mind if I got it from another doctor. Do you think this would be good? ALso you figure that my positive effects will return if I saty at this dose, or at 90?

> thank you, you are a very kind and hepful person. I would love it if most people you find on here were as nice and helpful.Thank you That Guy. Its nice to be appreciated. I would say if in 2-3 weeks you aren't noticing difference, I would go up to 90mg either way. According to what I've read, 60-90 is normal range. A lot of people end up at upper end. What was your initial response before she raised you to 105mg? Did you feel good on the 75mg that you were on? I think you said yes. What I'm noticing with Parnate (happened to me awhile ago on Emsam too) is a week or so of really happy (after 5-6 days) then fade for a bit, now, after a month, I'm def feeling it again, only a slower increase in response. So, whats a week or two after the he*l you went thru already? Your brain needs time to heal/readjust?
I did what you are suggesting. I've never asked much of my PDoc but when I went in wanting MAOI I told him I was done fooling around.I was seriously depressed. I asked for Parnate and got it. I told him I wasn't getting off Parnate just give me antidote for ht crises, haven't had another ht crises.
I'm pretty sure he wouldn't give me stim of any kind, probably because of the htcrises (3) that I've had. I wouldn't want them. But I doubt your PDoc will give that to you either. I would think most other augmentations would be fine, why not? As long as they aren't contraindicated, what would be the problem. Just tell her what you said without getting angry, just be firm. Especially if you walk in with a "short list" that you've researched and know something about. All IMHO Of course.
Hope this works, give it some time, there's always Parnate, haha, it works! I'm gonna augment too tho. I ramble, sorry, its the Parnate!!! Oh, I would NOT say you may see another Doc. She'll be really hesitant to prescribe not knowing what else you may be on.
