You should be OK w/ hydrocodone and Parnate. I was taking an occasional percocet with Parnate for about a month and searched the archives here. Couldn't find one indicating percocet or vicodin(hydrocodone) caused any issues. Most people said they used them together and they don't interact.
There are a few pain meds that do though.
I take lithium as well and I doubt that's causing the headache.
Some people take the TCA NORTRIPTYLINE with Parnate. That med is also used for migraines and tension headaches. So if you find the headache becomes just an occational side effect of the Parnate (in the event you continue on it) perhaps adding a small dose of notryp would help both the depression and the headache. (For Notryp reviews: http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=18013&name=PAMELOR )
Hope you get better. I'm on Parnate and it took a while but I finally feel like it's working well for me. Started in December w/ 10mg up to 60mg now. The last week or two I've really noticed it.
