Hi. Actually when Parnate wasn't doing it's job my doctor told me to take it with a caffeine pill! I couldn't believe that a doctor would recommend that but he did. It helped marginally. That's when we tried Provigil, Ritalin and then Adderall XR. I feeling so exhausted on the Parnate. But I now I realise that most likely what I was feeling was depresion.
I'm starting the Nardil tonight. I will actually be taking Nardil and Parnate at the same time for a bit. Strange.
Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it.
