Lol ur sound very much like me at one point.First thing i discovered is this,docs are going to say no to 99 percent of what u ask,if u most docs dont like the idea of having a patient on a maoi.
I learned this fast,but opposed to what many people believe it is possable to learn ur med well.
A doc spends time dealing with tons of meds,tons of patients,and so on.
Theres no logical way he could know about a single old med as he could never have the time to find the data that exsits.
So because he is liable,it is understandable their postion on augmenting it.Example the one doc i liked told me straight out,i stopped using xanax aside from specfic cases as she found it not better then other choices,she alo mentioned to me something i never thought of,she said whenever she presibes xanax here INSURANCE company became a major pain in the *rs*.
This would explain why she would use it as a last resort if she felt other options would work as well.That gave me a new insight to her just saying no to some things.
She stated how many patients fired her,walking out due to her refusal to use xanax as a first treatment.
As for here,well people like me tell u there opinion in no way different then we ,or i deal with it myself.Many many times i came across a med,excitied read on it ,and came to the conlcusion that no matter how good it sounded,i just could not use it as an option.This was the case so many times.
You have to ask urself,is parnate in the big picture worth the lack of options u have?For me it was,what i had to deal with was looking much much harder for augments,but they are there,and they do work,but its much harder then if i werent on a maoi.
Why i choose to stay is first its the only drug out of prob 90 percent of the ones out now that worked at all,its the only drug that introduced to what remission felt like,so to this i stay,but many people have choosen to go off parnate for this very reason.
