Well I am sticking with Parnate since I had a bad reaction to Nardil. So I will try adding 25 mg of Desipramine and see what happens. I wish I could add more, but that about all I can tolerate. I will let you know if see in any diffence. I need some mood brightening effects happening as well here ... big time.

Thanks Scott

> Regarding Nardil, there isn't much about it that I didn't like - aside from that it didn't work for very long. I did gain weight on it the first time I took it. I developed cravings for carbohydrates that went uncontrolled. The next few times I was on it, I was also taking desipramine. I did not gain any weight, but I was more restrained in my food intake. The initial inability to have orgasms often disappears within a few months. If the stuff works, that ain't much of a trade-off. Orthostatic hypotenstion usually appears at some point. Again, this is a side effect that can wane with time. If it doesn't, and the stuff is worth staying on, you can add Bethanecol to help prevent the hypotension.
