Ugh i want to write so much but where to start.Ok first its the only med that worked for me,thats not saying anything great,but in fact how sad for me it is that i wont touch a single ssri with a ten foot pool.
Now while it works it has its problems,first its unstable as sh-t.What i mean is i tak my morning dose and its sure not to last to my afternoon dose so i always go through a sufferin time of the day.
Second sometimes even the morning dose is shaky,i dont know how to put it,it just doesent have a solid back bone like say klonopin,you take that and its gonna do what it does.
Shame i have no other options cause one thing when parnate works it does WORK

What do you experience when you begin to feel worse?

What about using Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) during those times when anergia predominates? It usually does not produce the same degree of "let down" when it wears off as do other preparations of methylphenidate (Ritalin).
I find that adding desipramine or nortriptyline to Parnate acts to produce a more robust antidepressant response.
What dosage of Parnate are you taking?

How well does nortriptyliine work bro,sounds very interesting,problem is my real doc bless heart retired i loved her,im stuck with a douche,he knows i know about drugs and he hates,hates me for it,he wont give me anything,in fact i bring my girl so i can be quiet and let her deal with it,do you know were waiting for the right time but this p-k is actualy billing us for both therapy and med managment,i dont see no one for therapy,hes the worst of a person,but this area docs wont use maois mainly at the high dose im at,he will let me so i HAVE TO STAY WITH HIM.

Luckly im allowed to be on a very high dose,i take 40 and 40 for a total of 80 but technically im prescribed 100 mg a day for a 2 dose of 50 mg i just try to cut down.
This high dose saved my life,i owe it to the articles about it on the net,and the many many personal convos i had with chairman maoi in email who taught me a lot,i miss him he was very smart.
