Hey, thanks for the welcome. It's good to know one's been missed...I haven't been following the posts much recently. What made you finally decide to take the plunge into Parnate? How do you feel on it so far? I think for the first couple of weeks I was so worried about every little thing, wondering if this or that was because of the MAOI.
I'm still digging it. Like I said, it actually has worked for the depression, and I'll trade some of the unpleasant physical SE's for the lack of any mental/cognitive SE's any day. But also, as I mentioned in my post, I think it may have also aggravated an underlying condition, which may actually be a good thing if we can start addressing it instead of letting it fester.
I was taking Ambien for sleep for about two weeks. Ever since they gave me the Klonopin, there hasn't been any need for that. The Klonopin was actually kind of an emergency/temporary measure to settle me down a bit after my experience. My God, though, it's helped the social anxiety...
Why are you on Klonopin in the first place? Sleep or anxiety? It seems to be a great combination with Parnate.
Let's keep each other updated,
Chris
