I'm just over 2 weeks with Parnate and only at 10 mg..and I'm feeling better already..no social anxiety (I even went to a dance Saturday night)..go figure!
I was on Lexapro for over 2 years..it initally worked to lift my depression but was soon replaced with extreme apathy and lack of motivation. I can't believe how uninterested in life I was..and gained more weight too.
I have a long history of meds too..only one I haven't been on is Remeron..can't take the sedatation of tricyclics...everything else poops out on me..
Even this small does of Parnate is allowing me to even consider getting back to work and having some sort of life outside the walls of my house..
I know what it's like to be so frustrated with trying med after med to the point where you want to throw them and your pdoc againt the wall..but hang in there..
What experience did you have with MAOI's? Perhaps another trial with them or discuss another tricyclic..
Please let us know how your appointment went today.
