In reply to Calling the legend McPAC!!! Serious Qstn..., posted by ace on April 28, 2003, at 3:29:41
Hi Ace, I first want to apologize, either here, or through yahoo, I got your addy and mailed you - at the time I was so f^@&*% I wasn't thinking of basic considerance for personal space etc... Anyway, Ace, I'm the one with terrible anxiety, SP, Panic Attacks, GAD, and OCD. Dare I drop the sobering thought that these conditions wax and wane, and for myself especially when under pressure, which you of anyone would know, the symptomsare exacerbated.
When the nebulous free-floating anxiety seems controlled, the OCD cripples me, and vica versa, that's what i was wondering, how are you handling the condition, because I know we have the distinction of sharing the gammit of anxiety problems. I'm on washout to go on Nardil - first time on an MAOI I've been on everything - did nardil work for a time for you, and also, are you using the clomipramine in conjuction with the nardil, I assume not, but I don't know.
I brought one of your posts to my pdoc, and influenced by it, we decided I'd go on Nardil - was it beneficial for a time? - I know you're having terrible OCD now. Sorry for all the Q's but if you're on Nardil and Anafrinil at the same time, do you know of a site, or anybody who knows about the track record of combining the two, as it is thought to be risky, and my neuropsych. refuses to combine them. Right now, my OCD is bad, , but I think it will just manifest as general anxiety if I switch to clomipramine - need something to burn this at both ends.I understand your going through a stressful period right now, I'm sorry if anything I sent you upset, or discouraged you, my intentions DEFINATELY weren't malevolent. Of course logically we stand to gain if we pool our logic and my specialist is one of the most highly regarded pdoc in Vancouver. Any input you could give would be awesome. I'm the one who wrote about aligning with OCFoundation..... there not being enough funding, well, on the bright side, I've never tried Anafrinil, the only drug I haven't, I mean I tried it for two or so days, and my head was spinning, but never given it a proper trial, so don't despair!!!! We both have this to turn to=)
Hanging in there - btw, I want to be a psychiatrist, it sounds like you enjoy sciences too,
Ben
Respond if and when ever is convenient for you, don't feel any pressure or think that I'll think less of you if you don't get back right away - just trying to avoid a fourth, (third - lost count)death door episode hahaha, but I'm okay today
btw if you don't want to post here, and you feel comfortable exchanging emails, bentley79@hotmail.com
