> Congrats, do you think it was the wellbutrin that was the answer. I'm also on nardil x 1 1/2 months with minimal effects so far at 60 mg and my pdoc put me on Abilify but I think wellbutrin might be the next med to try. Isn't Wellbutrin contrainidcated with a MAO? Did your doc officially sanction the use of wellbutrin with nardil?

Yess i know for parnate it is listed,im almost just as sure for nardil.HOWEVER again the disease is not following guidelines so sometimes we cant either.

The addition of wellbutrin is documented usualy as UNCONVENTIONAL and for TREATMENT RESISTANT.

Even then your average doctor isnt likly to give you this.I do get a little frustrated when people,and in no way do i feel intentionaly,but they post good response,which is great,but then go on to mention the means to which and as in this example,

-- Not everyone or im gonna go and personaly say MOST will get there doc to give a Maoi.

-- Second if some do,they might as well not have as they act like they gave away a gun,and its like pulling teeth to get a reasonable dosage from them,they move like slugs,and to add a drug,well a lot of them will simply OPEN THE PDR look and say,um noooo cant do it sorry.

The inadequate dose from start,the desire to want to increase or push the med along usualy causes the maoi to be unsussesful.

Now this person in speaking must have a wonderful doctor,one who is willing to listen and probuably read outside the lines and if the patent is willing will push the line a bit more to break treatment resistant suffering.

Again most want to stay on safe,known,ground,which is to use the newer meds(newer does not mean safer) because not only do they know them,but they know how to add and adjust them,maois are just a flashing red no.


FYI: Maois are mentioned here a lot latly,im glad because before this i felt alone in the world on mine,and this is one thing i no longer feel isolated about.....

-- I notice that maois,almost all,when successful are noted to be augmented with something.I think its a fair conclusion to say succesful use on a maoi will almost surly involve a coctail of some form,and this is a road block since again docs are so unwilling to ad to them.--

Anyway cheers on your succes,may it continue!
