I was just searching the board about clompiramine and found this post by a poster called CGDR2, for whom the TCA was working very well after having been on MAOIs:
"I was on Phenelzine for a while last year, and the side effects kept me stuck at 45mg, which wasn't enough for my depression. I ended up wasting a lot of time, because rather than admitting the Phenelzine wasn't enough, and trying a new drug, I simply carried on taking it until things got worse."
I can't help but relate. Trying to accept giving up Marplan if I have to..and I might have to. it's hard to say goodbye since it was the first thing to give me relief and helps me get through the day
I feel like the MAOI augments the stimulant for my ADHD, and increases my baseline cognition in a way that my thoughts are more fluid. On an SSRI my thoughts seemed too fluid, like spilled milk. Nervous about the SRI action of TCAs doing that to me.
