> I don't have rapid-cycling moods (just ordinary unipolar melancholic depression that isn't entirely controlled by Parnate) but I do have panic disorder, if this makes a difference. I had my first panic attack in a few weeks the night before last. :-( As far as the depression goes, mostly what I am experiencing right now is low energy, apathy, lack of interest/enjoyment, etc.
> How was selegiline for you, BTW? I tried up to 40mg/day but I just had nausea, insomnia, and increased anxiety. It didn't "feel" like the other MAOIs.
As a result of a car accident when I was depressed
I was prescribed vicodin for pain. I was already
taking depakote and klonopin and serzone. (I'm
bipolar) Within a few days I felt really good
(too good according to my psych). Anyway that was
my experience. Good luck.
