Parnate to SSRI After ECT???

Posted by Geezer on December 11, 2002, at 11:31:28

Has anyone made a successful transition from Parnate to an SSRI following ECT treatments? I completed a series of 11 ECT treatments one week ago. I have been taking Parnate (currently 40mg. in divided doses) for the past six weeks. I just can't tolerate the Parnate - it makes me so tired I fall asleep in the afternoon. It is my understanding I would have to be off the Parnate completely for two weeks before starting an SSRI and continue to follow the MAOI diet for one month. Prozac is the only drug that ever gave me any relief (prior to poop-out after 18 months)......I am thinking of going back to Prozac and possibly adding pstims. I am DEFINITELY trying to live with TRD and just about at the end of my rope. The constant tired feeling is more than I can tolerate - I am not going to spend the rest of my life in bed. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
