Hi Guys,
Need to gleen some advice here concerning nardil and parnate.
These two now seem to be the only AD's that I haven't given a try at some point, and although I have been free of the worst of my severe BP11 depressions(rapid cycling)until recently, the loss of my brother earlier this year in Iraq whilst working for an aid agency (actually, 'loss' here is just a euphemism for murder)has sent me completely over the edge and into a depression that I now have very little interest left in fighting.
What I need basically is an antidepressant with a canonball punch, and one which is marginally less likely to trip my hairtrigger hypomania(usually dysphoric).
I've decided on either nardil or parnate as I don't have the time or inclination to mess around anymore, and although I know full well that hypomania is a highly idiosyncratic reaction,some insight might be helpful.
Also,I'm going to opt for a failsafe moodstabilizer, and some experiences of how zyprexa or seroquel stack up against valproate would be good.Cheers,
Col.
