> Lynda,

It's hard for me to imagine how having NO antidepressant in your system could possibly be WORSE than what you've been experiencing with the Aurorix. The same, maybe, but not worse.

> Hopefully, I'll be taking the Parnate within 1 or 2 days of arriving in L.A. Then, there's the long wait for it to kick in.>

Yeah. I remember reading some other posts about giving Parnate a good 6 weeks to kick in. That is a long wait when you're feeling the way you do, but hopefully there will be SOME effect before that time.

> And I must confide to you that since EVERYTHING going through my mind is a negative these days, my deepest worst fear of all is that the Parnate will not work this time--although it never failed me in the past.>

I had a feeling that might be a fear you were having. I almost asked you once, but didn't because I was afraid of PLANTING the fear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the MAOI drugs are actually some of the more stable ones in terms of if they work, they generally keep working.(?) I have to admit, even now, I still fear that my Remeron is going to poop-out some day, but so far so good.

You're going to make it, Steve. :)
