>Hi Shasling,
Sounds like a wise old man, lol
So you think what he meant was that once Parnate is working at lets say 80mg day, and that poops out, its time to augment, not increase dose?
How long have you been on Parnate?
Dose? Augmnent? s/e's?Have you responded as you had hoped? Not sure what your dx is. Sorry if any of this repeat.
Mine:
Excellent PDoc btw, 10yrs exp w/ MAOIs and augments.
80mg day (40mg 2x day)
Augment 40mg Ritalin (20mg 2x day)
I have to take my BP 15min before dose, 15min after dose, 30min after doseI have a chart, if my numbers dont stay within that chart I have to page him immediately. He's an excellent PDoc in my opinion. I am so lucky I found him. I am well on my way out of a nightmare depression. He says to expect 80-85% remission and the rest he feels will come from therapy.
btw- I see him every 2 weeks and per his request therapy every 2 weeks. Therapist changed it to once a week.....ouch, haha.
Oh-dx MDD
Let me know about your experience so far.
Thanks,
~Jade ps-I know you have concerns about combining ritalin with Parnate, but my BP is MUCH better with the Ritalin. I was so fatigued by low BP it didnt matter that I felt better cause I was too tired to do anything!!
