Consulted with Dr. Goldberg via email for TRD then read and posted study supporting High Dose Parnate for severe and TRD by Jay Amersterdam, MD (PSYCHIATRIC ANNALS 36:9 | SEPTEMBER 2006, http://www.psychiatricannalsonline.com/showPdf.asp?rID=20772; never felt better in my life on Parnate @ 110mgs by my FP after showing study (forget about all the poly pharm as they made me feel worse, ex, adding Lithium, and Nortrip. Add exercise as Parnate motivates you to exercise), but now am getting some alopecia (hair loss) and had to reduce Parnate dosage. I've had severe and TRD since the age of 15y/o and currently 42y/o with every med tried (unfortunately not high enough dose of MAOIs in past as even psychiatrists are inexperienced or know about high dose MAOIs) including 70 plus ECTS wihtout relief. Parnate High dose is the best in my opinion. Forced sleep deprivation is also good as mao neurons don't get to rest like they would in normal sleep and puts them on overdrive hence more mao. Cold showers to sitmulate endorphins and norepinephrine is also good. Strong feeling that Brain Stimulation Implant-Broadmanns area (Dr. Helen Nyberg) would cure most with depression. I even take 5mgs of selegiline which augments Parnate and helps with libido and sex drive.
Just starting taking Boswella (herb) for joints as I've lifted heavy weights for years and possibly feeling an antidepressant effect from it. Article on frankicense or Boswellia in ScienceDaily here..works different mechanism than monamines; http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080520110415.htm
