In reply to Withdrawal after long term MAOI treatment., posted by Jedi on July 30, 2007, at 22:42:09
I've been on Nardil and in the past Parnate. It has been about 6 years after many years of trying to find the right meds to stop compulsivie suicidal thoughts and major depression episodes. Let me correct myself...I'm still depressed, fighting every day, and fall into episodes of coma like stupors of major depressions. I'm very frustrated with nardil. Maybe this is the best I can be...but, I'd like to believe differently. In terms of the person who offered that they have been free of MAOI's...i'm truly happy for you. I wish the same for myself and I understand the fear of falling apart when trying to get off of Nardil. I've been there. I want to try Cymbalta. I resigned myself to never having a sexual life. Sort of a martyr out look...I gave up a lot for a bit of peace of mind and it's just not enough anymore. I'm ready to go into the hospital for the fifth time now and get off of the Nardil and try Cymbalta. I have to wait for the right time...afterall, I'm a depressive with a history of ptsd and a genetic propensity towards workaholism.
Has anyone made the switch sucessfully and what is it that people out there find the most upsetting about being on a MAOI. i'm frustrated.
Thanks for listening.
