The doctors at the hospitals wouldn't prescribe this either. TCA/MAOI combos, despite the strong evidence to the contrary, are still considered too dangerous. This is my last ditch effort. I put this up on a shelf several months ago when I wanted to do it and said that I would try everything else first. I've tried everything else. This is my chance to feel normal. You better believe I am being more careful than I have ever been (spent all afternoon taking my BP and reading about how to recognize serotonin syndrome), but I am doing this and unfortunately have to do it alone. I appreciate your caring more than you know, but I just don't feel like I have any other choice. I took 10mg at 4:11-- BP every 15 min since have never been over 120/80, temp steady and never over 97 degrees (I run low), and no agitation or other strange feelings. I have friends that are "on call" to take me to the hospital at the slightest hint of a symptom! I promise, Philipa, I'm taking good care of myself. Thanks so much for caring, but desperate people unfortunately must do desperate things.
