> It's always good to be cautious. Just to offer the other side though, I've gone Marplan to Nardil and back to Marplan cross tapering (1 day washout). I didn't have any problems. There was a study/article from 2018 w a title saying it was ok but sadly the study txt is not free:

>Im kinda stuck, I want to be cautious but my pdoc said with the cross taper I would benefit by Marplan working faster coming straight off Nardil. Very tempting. Havent decided yet which way to go. On the bright side, my insurance will cover Marplan. No way I could afford it on my own. I will pick it up tomorrow so I have to make up my mind.
> Btw I'm feeling really good the past few days. It's my 5th or 6th week on Marplan. I had started it while being on Ritalin but I quit taking Ritalin a week ago. I think it was making me worse.Hey thats great!! My dr wont prescribe most augments other than APs. He mentioned Abilify and Geodon, both of which I have tried and will not try again. Abilify gave me crazy RLS, and Geodon felt like I was in a coma. So Ill stick with Zyprexa or try Seroquel depending on how much trouble sleeping I have on Marplan.
> At my pdoc apt on Monday (3days ago) we decided to add a low dose of Desipramine (25mg). Definitely feeling much better w.o. the Ritalin and perhaps the Desipramine is helping my adhedonka a touch already also.

Looks like we may have similar med cocktails. I have Metformin but have been chicken to try it. Does it help with weight gain for you?Thank you for your post,
