> Hi Everybody:
>
> The Parnate withdrawal symptoms I was having (dizzy, chills, terrible itching, nausea, brain fog, achy joints) have never gone away! And now full blown Rheumatoid Arthritis has laid me low. I get these exacerbations on occasion, but not this bad.
>
> I think I'm allergic to Parnate. Damn.
> Parnate is the only AD in 15 years that has really helped me. It gets down to a very deep place where my obsession with suicide lies. No other AD has come close. But I'm a mess and getting worse.
>
> I finally wrote an email to my pdoc tonight to tell him what's going on and see what he thinks.
> I've probably been allergic to Parnate since the git-go and that's why it took me 5 miserable months to get on it. Then it was good!
> It was going from 80mg down to 60mg that stirred everything up. I can't believe I'm still having such bad withdrawal symptoms after a month!
>
> There is not another AD out there that I can take, except Wellbutrin, which only helps about 60%. I wish I could take a little bit of Parnate and add Wellbutrin, but aren't those two that do not go together?
>
> Boy am I ever bummed.

> Sorry to be such a downer.
