Elizabeth:
Was wondering how you're doing on the Modafinil with Parnate (and Lithium)? I've been on 20mg Parnate now for about 6 weeks and feel pretty well but still very sluggish, tired, slowed-down, and unmotivated. I went up to 30mg for about 10 days, felt worse, and came back down to 20mg. In my reading on Parnate and MAOI's, it seems that they have a tendency to lower thyroid function (TSH levels). What about augmenting with T3 to counteract this? And doesn't lithium also depress thyroid funtion, too?
Have you ever tried the T3 with any AD? Think it might help with Parnate for fatigue (mental and physical), motivation, even concentration?Thanks and hope you're doing well.
JohnB.
