> Thank you kat. We can go through the washout period together. My dr just said he wants me to go off wellbutrin. I have seen other people take both, and i am at 300. He thinks that i can just cut them in half for 4 days. That is way to fast for my body. Im thinking of just going down to 150.
> So 1 week to withdraw from celexa, plus 2 weeks for the wsshout of it. And during the 3 weeks taper off ritalin and wellbutrin. Hope i dont get too bad.
> I have tried emsam, which made me worse. Parnate has to help! Im suprised i havent tried it already after reading more. Im a hard case. Ect, tms, etc.I'm glad you made the decision to try an MAOI. The washout is incredibly hard, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and for most people that light is very bright; MAOIs really are great. I'm like you, did ect, tried every med in the world. Haven't tried tms though; don't want to spend all that money on something that doesnt seem to work for most people.
Ritalin has a very short half-life so you should be free of it in a couple of days. The other drugs do take a while. My pdoc even said I could stay on Ritalin until two days before the washout ends. But Ritalin has stopped working for me so so much for that. Hang in there; we'll make it Here's to MAOIs! If you need support, always remember I'm here :)
