Zoey, I agree with Blueberry get all the tests done asap. I have had depression probs(severe) much like you, for over 20 yrs-it sucks i hate the disease!!! I've been on every ssri, every snri, many tca's, and the MAOI's. Parnate makes me feel like a million bucks...it's really an incredible drug for me, and many others. But, it doesn't work for everyone ( and don't be afraid of the diet-it's a piece of cake,no pun intended). The only problem with Parnate and absolutely all AD's is poop-out. However your doc can augment it with other drugs to help it work better and longer, i.e., Lithium, thyroid 3, nuerontin, pindolol,lamictal and many more. Parnate may be the way to go for you, or nardil for that matter. Anyway, it may be worth a try- you might be like me and have great results with an MAOI...many people who don't do well with ssri's, srni's, tca's, go on to do very well on MAOI's-and I have heard of people taking them for more than 20 years-no poop out! I've also had 24 ECT treatments, which I don't personally recommend(that's just my opinion, they work great for a lot of people, so please don't rule them out). Hey, I'm here for you, so if I can help you in anyway, don't hesitate to ask...I'll do my best to help you anyway i can. Take care and hang in there...I think this is the start of a good thing and hopefully you will be feeling much better soon!

Sincerely,
Tyler
