Hi Gayle,Thanks a lot for the info you posted, and glad to hear things turned out well at the custody trial. Congrats to you :-)
> I had quite a few side effects for a while, hypotension, dizziness, spacey feeling, very low blood pressure, very bad fatigue, dry mouth, and more. All are GONE except dry mouth.
I have the same side-effects, except for dry mouth. Hypotension and fatigue are the worst ones right now. How long did it take for those side effects to go away? Do you think dosing times would make a difference? (I take 20mgs at 8am and 20mgs at 1pm) I'd like to switch to evening doses to see if I can gather the energy to do some exercise during the day, but I don't know if that would work.
> Look at what I wrote this morning to Fred, and let me know any more questions you have. I'd be happy to share anything I know.Thanks, I actually looked around but couldn't find what you wrote to Fred. What thread was that? Sorry!
> You have probably gathered that I take Parnate with TCA nortript which I think is the BOMB. Young pdocs have no experience with it and are afraid of it.Yes, I did notice several people here are on that combo. The doctor I'm seeing now is a research specialist and when I mentioned the Nortript to him he didn't seem to think it was that great of an idea. He is all set on augmenting with Abilify (which I hated when they used to augment my SSRI + gave me awful side effects.) Do you think Nortriptyline would be a better augmentor than Abilify? I might try to convince my doc it it's worked for others so well.
So tell me one thing: Parnate didn't start working for you until you augmented with Nortryp? Or did it just get "better" once it was augmented?
Thanks a lot for your help!
