Hello fellow Parnate adventurers,
Please forgive my spelling I have MS and spelling is no longer on my can do list. And to think I graduated from college with high honors just to become stupid. LOL You have to deal or hang it up.
I am new here, but I have been reading your posts for the last couple of months thank goodness, or the Parnate would be down the john after 2 days.
My Story is very long but not to worry I will just do the highlights. I started taking meds when I was 6yrs old (They were The best too. Wish I knew what they were.} I had severe phobias at the time. Over the years they would come and go, until I hit my 20s. Bang! total agoraphobia. OCD, the works, didn't leave the house for 2yrs! With valium and a book I read (mostly the book) I was totally cured within 3 months and stayed that way for close to 20yrs with the help of Nardil. It stopped working for me completely. Still no OCD or phobias, but depressed you bet.
I have been the full gambit over the yrs of the new and old meds. no help. So decided I must try Parnate again, It was and is my last hope.
During all those yrs I managed to escape any depression, or else I was too scared to even realize it. I was DXed with MS and hypothroidism in 1998, boy I sure know depression now. Depression is a symtom of both diseases. Lucky me.
On to parnate. I also stated taking it in December, just couldn't take another year of this. I currently take 40mg and thaught I had made it. NOT!!!! For a few days I felt like a kid again.
My fear is that because I took Nardil for so many years that might interfere with the action of parnate. The side effects are so much milder than nardil. I do remember nardil took quite awhile to work also, but I wasn't depressed at the time. Not for the first 10yrs anyway.Please any help or encouragement would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you
