Right now I'm doing lamictal + zoloft + maybe 1-2 mg of abilify later on for major depression and panic.
If this doesn't work I'm going to probably try nardil again (which would be in 3 months if this fails). Reason I might give it a shot is because I think being 4 times over the limit of B6 screwed with it and possibly the amlodipine interaction when I started it might've messed it up.
ANYWAYS, question. On nardil the worst symptom I have is shivers/cold intolerance. This happens usually at 60 mg, but on my 3rd nardil trial it happened at 45 mg.
- Do you think these shivers are caused by norepinephrine or a metabolite of nardil? Cymbalta and Parnate made me extremely cold. And parnate is more NE based I believe.
- Would lithium handle this? I heard it converts Norepinephrine to serotonin. If there's a better balance it would get rid of the coldness and help with any insomnia + give me the great efficacy of nardil.
Thoughts?
