Hi guy,i see chairman,and to then thousand times the degree ACE promote Nardil.No problem,we need that,when something is found useful to screamit from the roof tops.But there must always be an understanding that not everyone will come to the same conclusions.I cant not even get past a week trial on nardil,as it is too weak,to slow and sedative like,and too many sideeffects.
Parnate acts like a mood stablizer for me,meaning makes me feel at a 0 rather than under a 0,so i try to augment it.Right now im using ritalin,and not forgetting how valuable OTC prodcuts can be i started using l-theanine/klonopin as well,seems like a ok combo thus far.Well have to see it just never ends,i ffeel ur frustration,even though id hate to loose one of my boys!
> When I say I went from a 10 to a 0, I mean that I went from full remission to severe depression (in the period of 10 days). I'm not chasing a hypomanic high. I'm very versed in what remission and a return to depression feels like. I'm concurrently taking Lamictal as well, and doubt my doctor will go for the buprenorphine thing. Parnate didn't work for me on a lengthy trial, but I was only on 90mgs (and couldn't get a wink of sleep). Marplan, however gave me a good response which faded after a couple months. I HAVE responded to various meds when first starting them up, but this feeling has always gone as quickly as it comes on.

> Most recently, I responded great to Serzone virtually immediately, and then was right back to where I started a couple days later. I'm now curious if we dropped many meds too soon due to start-up anxiety and glaring cognitive impairment and/or pushing the dose up too high too fast. Dexedrine worked wonders for me for a couple months, and Aderrall great for about two days. I've had ECT before, but am considering having it done again. Any med suggestions would be greatly appreciated (even meds where you really have to wait it out and improve slowly).

> Life is absolute hell. I can't even make it to the shower, am virtually mute, and am so painfully aware of what I'm missing out on. Nardil augmentation strategies seem futile, as it's doing NOTHING right now. It needs a full jumpstart, not a helping hand. Thanks for listening to my sorrows, and I'd be interested in ANY suggestions.
