Has anyone had long term success with this combination? What was the dose of Ritalin taken? Were there side effects? The Parnate is losing its efficacy for me but I don't dare stop it because it's the only drug that works, so I wondered if Ritalin would add some zip.

Better to add nortriptyline in a dose of 75-150mg per day (start off at 25mg and slowly build up over 2 weeks, be guided by blood tests as to the best dose for you) because there is no tolorance or let down with nortriptyline
