In reply to Parnate and lithium, posted by Ruby V. on July 5, 2009, at 21:07:08
> Does anyone have experience taking Parnate and lithium concurrently? I am on Nardil (1 year), Lamictal, lithium, and Abilify. But have been having disturbing and noticeable side effects from the Nardil. I am interested in a trial of Parnate instead of the Nardil, but my doctor does not want to because of the risk of lithium toxicity and seritonin syndrome. I would appreciate any feedback on this combination.
I just added lithium to my treatment regime a few days ago. I have heard of one or two cases where lithium created a SS problem when added to an antidepressant. Lithium has long been thought to be a particularly good augmenter of Parnate. Why does your doctor worry about SS more with Parnate than with Nardil. I would think that it should be the other way around, if anything.
My current regime:Parnate 80mg
nortriptyline 150mg
Lamictal 200mg
Abilify 20mg
lithium 300mg
