GI78 - Yes, we totally had the same experience... isn't it dreadful to think maybe one good year is all we'll get? I refused to accept that for a long time... hence the many, many trials... also, isn't it terrible to try to explain to pdocs just how traumatic is was to be "cured" then nothing ever works again? It's hard to put into words how frustrating it is. I dont know if Parnate was ever reformulated... search old threads there was quite a discussion about this topic a few weeks ago... many think yes as its properties have changed. (I just started so hard to say) Nardil, most definitely, it ruined many lives when they changed the formulation, they have support groups, want to file lawsuits, everything. Very well documented all over the internet. BTW, I tried tianeptine before Parnate - NOTHING. I still have tons of boxes of it left - hard to get from overseas. More time/money/effort wasted. I do believe that people like you and me have a seritonin problem (given our excellent reaction to SSRIs at one point) so am not that surprised MAOIs may not be the exact right thing... but still, as you say, I expected more from the gold standard. But have accepted they just don't do it for me anymore. I have spent YEARS thinking, researching, trying to find the answer... so if you ever want to chat let's do. We are in the same boat, right down to not wanting to go out after work! best missjulie
PS) I once read about a young woman who did very well on Lamictal after pooping out on Celexa... don't know how many drs you've seen and wonder if you're playing the BPII/ BPIII / atypical labeling game?? been there done that :)
