Hi Brian!
>Well when I will have started the Parnate I will have been off Prozac for 5 and a half weeks most likely.
A very small amount of norfluoxetine may still be present. It can't hurt to take a very small 'test dose' of Parnate for the first few days of treatment, just to be on the safe side.
>It's not a job that requires any education.
You're education will have helped you to do a better job though. I can understand why you want to progress to something else though, especially considering the low pay.
>I was interested in selegiline as a treatment choice about a year ago, but honestly I think it is a bit overhyped by a couple choice websites over the internet. The antidepressant effect isn't considered very robust compared to Nardil or Parnate, and at lower doses even with DLPA added you don't hear of many people on it long term which has to tell you something.
I agree! I doubt it will help but it's probably still worth a try.
>My greatest fear is to end up in five/ten years still on these boards searching for treatment option when I really should be out there enjoying life!
You have a job and a girlfriend. You have a degree and are physically very healthy. You are intelligent and you're being pro-active with your treatment. You seem to be doing rather well to me!
>I'm optimistic it won't :)
Me too... and we don't call you the optimist for nothing :-)Best of luck with the Parnate,
Ed.
