> Hi,
How are you doing?? Are things getting better every day for you?
>
> Did you take it?No I didnt take it. I am giving it up. Not only for the sedation (which I do believe may pass) but because of the OCD angle.)
>
> Hey cool that your OCD isn't back already!Isn't that a good sign?No, it means nothing because by OCD will suddenly appear and sometimes I can be off meds for 1-2 months without it coming back. Its a totally separate diagnosis which means that improving the depression does not mean I wont get an OCD recurrence. And it ALWAYS comes back (unless I am on the right med (usually an SSRI)
it got rid of the remaining level of OCD COMPLETELY!!! I don't know if it will last, but till now it has had the greatest effect of any med I tried.. also on OCD!Really???? Then maybe I should give it a shot. What type of OCD do you have. I wrote a post about mine. Is yours as severe? Will you please see it and let me know- maybe I can still try the Parnate. http://www.dr-bob.org/cgi-bin/pb/mget.pl?post=/babble/20091012/msgs/921138.html#921138
I'm glad your social anxiety is getting better!!
Thats great news.
> For me I feel a very strong anti obsessional effect, but I haven't been long enough on Parnate to be able to determine that..Well there is no reason why a drug should stop working for OCD. I feel if it is helping you then hopefully it will keep doig so.
But please read my post- I would really appreciate it....> Thanks a lot :) I hope that too.. still afraid it might poop out on me..
No, you mustn't think like that. Most people are saying it just gets better (and even if it poops out in many months Gayle had shared a possible strategy for dealing with it!)
> Good luck to you!!! I really hope this damn sedation will leave you out of a sudden and soon as it did with me!
>
> Please keep us updated :)Thanks so much... i will definitely post an update. Right now I was just talking to my dad and we decided that I should withdraw and start venlafaxine because the OCD thing is way too risky. But now I have read your post and I think maybe it will work on mine too.
But even if I give it up, I can always come back to it if high dose velafaxine fails.
I hope you can shed some light on the OCD thing because if yours is like mine then there is a good chance Parnate will work for my OCD!!Lots of love
