> You might look at some of the older drugs if the newer ones tend to cause weight gain and sex problems. Sexual dysfunction seems to be an almost-universal side effect of the SSRIs, in particular.
Yeah, I have given up on the SSRIs, only had a partial response and a lot of side effects. Me and my pdoc are trying stimulants and mood stabilizers. Of the mood stabilizers, neurontin seems to be the one that works best for me. Dexidrine made me too edgy and now Adderral is being tried. I am still on the Selegiline--I just lower the dose and add an amphetamine. The Adderral makes me active, but funny thing, does not tend to make me productive. After this, I think there is still Provigil (sp?) and Celerta (sp?) and possibly Desoxyn (sp?) to try in the stimulant class. And I may go back and try Moclobemide again adding Neurontin to it this time. Next stop, I figure is Desipramine (sp) and Parnate. Are these last two the "older" drugs you have in mind? From what I have read, these two seem to have the lowest side effect profile.
Thanx
