Thanks SLS. It sounds as if you can stop and start these medications fairly easily, and manage to live and work without medication if you have to. Is that correct or just my interpretation ? I cannot function at all wihout medication, and only started taking it for that reason. Avoided meds my whole life until I had no choice. It would be very painful to come off the parnate for me and the whole situation frightens me enormously, having to depend on a drug for my mind to work properly. I found with both parnate and nardil, which are the only two Ive been on, that when they dont work, I just cannot think properly, and that is so scary. Can you describe what difference the lithium made? This new psychiatrist I have started with has suggested putting me on lamictal, if the higher dose of parnate works.... but I am scared to death of taking any more drugs than I have to....
