UD,
Sometime in the mid 1990s, I was taking Parnate, and probably desipramine as well. I had already tried venlafaxine without success, so I had some pills floating around. Desperation got the better of me, and I couldn't help but to want to try a serotonergic antidepressant in combination with a MAOI. I spoke to my doctor about doing that, but he didn't want to take a chance. I decided to try it anyway. So, I nibbled off a tiny piece of venlafaxine and swallowed it. 10 mg maybe? Within an 30 minutes, I was lying in bed, unable to move and incoherent. When my parents came in to check on me, I was jabbering away. I was delirious and barely knew where I was. I just remember seeing the ceiling. However, I knew what was happening. I asked my mother to get a thermometer and take my temperature. It was normal. I told them not to worry. I just needed to reboot myself.
I chose Effexor because it had a relatively short half-life - just in case.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
