Hi TH,
Yes, that is the way to look at things.I do hope you are doing fine on your current dose of Parnate and that things even out. I dont know what you have already taken before in the past, and whether any other meds worked for you.
Trying not to be too negative, but although the maois are said to be the most effective tablets, they come with so many problems. I got 'high' on nardil, and though I was being treated at the maudsley which is a hospital with an international reputation, they did nothing about it, as they felt it was better to remain on one medication.I tried to reduce the pills, under their guidance, and became ill again so had to increase them again. Now, this present psychiatrist says they should not have kept me on nardil for so long. However it is easy to criticise. He has pushed my parnate up to 50 mg and hopefully they will work again, but it is so scary to depend on these drugs, without which my mind does not work properly, when you never know whether they will stop working. Have you had success with any other medication? My psychiatrist told me that parnate is the strongest of the lot and the hardest to come off. Maybe that is not everyone's experience. I have been unable to function for months now and am totally desperate.This new psychiatrist is doing his best, but I can see that he is not finding the situation easy.
Am I so much harder to treat than the majority on here, so are still managing to work etc...
