Hi Declan,
Sorry I didn't notice your post for ages! And I've been super busy - my mother is staying for a while, and I find it super draining. Anyway,
Yeah, you can get parnate, but I don't want the food restrictions (I'm paranoid anyway about poisening myself as it is, let alone taking a drug that could actually mean you poisen yourself!) plus the pdoc I'm seeing says they're not much good - which I know isn't true, but well, I guess I have to try and 'work with him' as much as possible, if you know what I mean.
Anyway actually you can't get despiramine here, but you can get lofepramine which apparently breaks down into despiramine in your body (or so I understand!)
Yeah, I rather wish moclobemide worked out. I liked the feeling of being energised. The pdoc reckoned I got an inflammation of those tiny capilaries which was what caused the red spots/rash. I wonder how he could make that diagnosis, considering he never saw the spots!!
I have a complete lack of enery and zero motivation and blah feeling. Its awful. Anyway. I need a stimulant!
Kind regards

> You might not so much be med sensitive as reactive/allergic. The meds you have reacted to positively are stimulating (I think). I found 75mg/d moclobemide as stimulating as I could easily hack. So what does that leave you with, assuming you can't get Parnate in the UK? Desipramine?
