> Sounds like Parnate has Gaba B please correct me if wrong. Love Phillipa
I really don't know....and to be honest, I think my gaba (A or B) are probably already f*ck up by all the benzos I take in my life...
I meet my pdoc again yesterday...and he put me again on Parnat insiste if the Nardil. He read in my old medical report from my family doctor that I already do 3 months on Nardil at 90 mg/day without any improve so he say that I should try the Parnate again, even if I do more panic attacks at the begining of the treatment. The target will be to reach the 60 mg/day...he said that more than this will do nothing...except add more stimulant effect and more anxiety...so the theory about taking more than 60 mg of Parnate drug and feel more anxiolytic effect are false, well that's what my pdoc said...He also refuse to give me some trazodone at the same time or augment my daily intake of valium at 30 mg like I wanted...so I stay at 20 mg, even if I feel terribly anxious and I feel the strange effect inside my head, you know, when you forget to take the benzo drug, it's like your brains begin to crave for the drug...it's a strange sensation, everytime I feel it I fear to have a seizure...and I almost do a panic attacks...That's freaking me out...i'm so tired to be addict to the valium...
He said that the next move after being stable on the 60 mg of Parnate will be to remove all the benzodiazepines I take (Valium). I don't understand why, but it's the first pdoc to tell me that benzo drugs are just sh*t and they will interfer with the effects of the Parnate or all the antidepressants drugs! He explain that the antidepressants are suppose to boost the SE, NE and DA...but at the same time, the benzos drugs just stop that effect, so it's why I probably never find a good antidepressants to help me...He said that the more fast I will withdrawl them , the more good I will feel again.
I ask him why my family doctor give me them back in 2005, if they are so bad...He said that now, the pdoc prescribe them less often, and they give it only on small period of time (4 weeks maximum)...
Anyway...I'm back on Parnate...I do more than ever insomnia, I feel really tired, so I will probably just buy some cheap sleep pills like Unisom...since I Can't find Unisom2 in Canada...One thing is sure, the Seroquel XR is so dangerous that I will never take that again...
