In reply to Giving up on Parnate: what's next before ECT?, posted by dragonblack on July 24, 2011, at 17:04:46
DB, I misread your post. I am truly sorry about that. (my excuse was being up almost all night. But still...:-/)
So you are on abilify. 2mg. For how long? And will you take it to 5mg? Or 10mg? Do you feel anything from it yet for better or worse?
It could help if you are finding your thoughts moving toward ECT. But I still think an alerting agent still sounds indicated. Is you chief worst symptom of the depression your fatigue?
I thought provigil/nuvigil was easier to come by than aderall or amphetamine stimulant..I know someone who did reasonably well on parnate, provigil, and let me think what tea it was. Didn't take much tca. Let me see if I can find out. (But those tca's seems so idyosyncratic and particular person to person.)
Still wishing you the best.
