> > Hi, I've been taking Wellbutrin SR now for about 3 weeks. There's been no improvement with my depression. The only things I've noticed is more memory loss and being a lot more irritable/short tempered. I don't know if these side effects would eventually go away but I don't really want to wait and see. I'm thinking of trying Nardil now. I was on Parnate several months ago but didn't get much help, although my doc wouldn't let me increase the dosage over 60mg/day which I think might have helped. I've also been on a lot of the SSRIs without much help.

I understand that this can be one of its side effects. I already have a lot of trouble with that. I couldn't tolerate Xanax or Klonopin because I was falling asleep all the time. And I know you're not supposed to take stimulants with the MAOIs.

That's ok. I meant social anxiety disorder. I'm not sure what the different kinds of depression are. I just haven't had much luck finding anything to treat mine.
I noticed a little improvement with the Parnate in being less depressed and some more energy but not much. I wanted to increase the dosage above the "recommended" 60mg/day max but my doc wouldn't do it. I really didn't have any negative side effects from it. The diet restrictions weren't really a problem either.
