Depression with components of social isolation (avoid people with no desire to mingle and yet unhappy with this state). Doctor and I decided on parnate because of my fear of weight gain that nardil is notorious for.
You're right that nardil is probably the better drug for me. I isolate myself socially because I fear the pain of rejection of human contact yet this isolation is depression?! Quite a conundrum.
Currently on percocet and neurontin for pain from a bad hip but that will all stop shortly after my slated hip replacement. This combo helps my mental state but I realize this probably cannot be used long term.
Wish nardil did not cause so much weight gain as this is a big issue for me.
I believe many of my symptoms are genetic as they were evident as a very young age. (4 or 5).
Possibly we can correspond on this situation as you are very knowlegeable). That would be up to you of course.
