> Hi all. Come to the point that my MAOI (isocarboxazid) has lost its umph. Get to see my dear Pdoc Friday. Not seen him for 5+ yrs. Since then Iv'e had verious changes to my doses. I suffered from this so went straight back to my original doses. Feeling more afloat but still struggling with no energy. I take a TCA (amitriptyline) with it. Ive read so may suggest that Nortryptyline is a good addon to phenelzine.
> That or try a higher dose MAOI then try switching. If all else fails probably get back on phenelzine. Start again. Will be tricky which ones to stop and when if I do switch but i trust my doc.
> Anything to say? Please, go ahead ;)
>Nothing to suggest but glad you are taking isocarboxazid as I am as well. I'm also hitting a bit of a rut after 4yrs of using it w Lamictal. I see my doc in Jan. Hadn't considered adding a TCA so I'm interested to see what other say.
Btw I had good success with 20mg for a while then went to 30. I've tried higher dosages but always end up kinda spacey.
Hope some others chime in.
