> Are you sure the drug you were prescribed is PARNATE?...I'm a little skeptical for a few reasons.. parnate only comes in 10mg. pills, so taking 25 mgs. seems strange...typically, that number should be 20 or 30mg..but regardless, a combination of the two classes of medication (even though they are both at low doses) is a little risky.

> This definitly goes beyond aggressive, liberal psychiatry.I went online and it seems that it should not be taken together. Quite frankly this just shows what I always thought of most pdocs... they are incompetent! I could go research a day on the internet regarding these medications and know more than some of these ''specialists''.
Anyway I guess I cant take it. Which is a shame. He did prescribe parnate. Yes i read it right. I didnt buy any yet. I been on paxil for a year and a half and it's what keeps me from ending up in the morgue.
But paxil is not enough. And I cannot go off it or I will suffer through the hardest mental pains imaginable. Stopping it and trying something else is not an option. I can only add a med to the paxil I already take. Which is a shame. I DONT KNOW what the hell I can do. I started to not take the small dose of vivarint I was taking. 1/3 of a tablet of the vivarint 10 (says vivarint 10 on the package).
vivarint which is said to work on norepinephrine has helped with harsh head pains which I get when I am only on paxil. They are burning hot pains. It also seemed to I dunno... I felt more at ease. But vivarint is off the market for some stupid retarded reason.
I dunno what I can do. I am sick of spending hours upon hours researching meds and looking for something that will help. I need someone for seratonin. Vivarint when i took it on its own a while ago didnt help much on its own. instead it kept me occupied with a sex obession. Nothing else. I didnt feel alive or anything.
Maybe a small dose of parnate would be acceptable? I dont know.
out of the 15-20 meds I tried dexedrine seemed to help somewhat. in the beginning it did. I felt alive, motivated, talkative, wanted to do things and even write, take up hobbies, meet people... but it didnt last. and it would make me feel very agitated. i think that is the term. and very grim during times. I dont know what will be good for me anymore.
I need help
