Hi SLS,
Ive been on quite a cocktail in the past two years. First the cocktail included Nardil(up to 105mg). It just wasn't working so I switched to Parnate overnight last August while keeping the rest of the cocktail the same.
Had same Parnate experience as most people do: Each dose increase worked wonderfully for a few days, then would stop.
Now I sit at 100mgParnate/day.
I was using 200mg Lamictal from way back even before I started Parnate.
I have just successfully "cleaned my cocktail" to ONLY 100mgParnate/day. (even no sleep aids, most nights)The interesting part: each time I lowered my Lamictal by 50mg I was in remission for 1-3 days in exactly the same way it felt like at every parnate dose increase. The night before last night was my last Lamictal dose. Again tonight I have more energy, MUCH less anx, lots of motivation, and feel a way better.
Ill see how long this 'usually' short window of remission will last and let you know. MAybe it will stay since ill be totally off Lamictal, maybe it was dulling the Parnate the whole time...
Anyway Im so happy to say Im back to a baseline of just Parnate where I can feel solely IT and will augment from here if I have to..
What a great thread by the way hey! losts of good input on augmentors and experiences.
