So here I am completely lethargic, I mean can hardly get out of bed kind, and I have to go back to work, my life, etc. He's not gonna budge, so new PDoc. How does everyone find Pdocs that are current enough to prescribe things like Ritalin w/MAOI? Or Nortriptyline?

Go buy some creatine, i think it might help with MAOI induced fatigue independent of hypotension. Also, acetyl l carnitine might help, although i don't think MAOIs create a unique need for it so it'll have hte same effect as if you weren't on one. But it helps some fatigue conditions.

> -d/rI've suffered plenty thank you and I've earned some normalcy as well IMHO. I'm not cognitively functioning as it is d/r, how am I supposed to find a post "specifically for me" if you don't put my name on it? Please stay out of that "box" under the sink. I know you like to play under there (oops, sorry, chatting again). Well, geuss what I got in one day? 120 5mg Ritalin. I'll give you a moment to be jealous........OK, took one didn't feel it at all???? Why?? Also, I've probably asked this a hundred times but if Parnate is going to work for me, how much longer for significant improvement?? Isn't 10 weeks long enough for ANYONE???? I hate to even ask this, but when do ya call it a day? When is Parnate screaming I WILL NEVER HELP YOU!!!
Thanks, I'll keep ya posted on the ritalin.
~Jade-day 4 on 60mg Parnate/over 10 wks...ugghh
