Hi Vincent,
well, I think this is the most recent post. I'm sorry Parnate didn't work for you with the side effects. Sometimes I try to think back to remember how I felt before Parnate, but all I have to do is forget my pills once or twice and I figure I better stay on it. Whats funny to me is that you go out I'M SURE more than I do and you're the one with SA. Aren't you seeing a CBT? Is that helping? Must be! I'm becoming quite agoraphobic, well actually I have been for a while, I just don't like to admit it! The thought of going out with my friends like I used to makes me cringe. I had a very minor panic attack at my own brother's house! That was at Thanksgiving and alot of family I don't see often were visiting.
Sorry, off track there. I know someone who got really good results from Cymbalta and Wellbutrin. Ask your Doc, but I think there's a reason for this combo. What was interesting was that he had been on each individually and they did nothing for him. Together he was no longer depressed. He suffers from anxiety as well, not sure if something was added for that or not. Have you ever been on Wellbutrin? I'm sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself here! I just remember when I was on it I had lots of energy, especially in the beginning, and I lost weight. No side effects that I remember, except that finally I did go off it as the benefits wore off, and I became a little irritable. Maybe combined with Cymbalta i'd be great, I don't know. I might try that combo eventually if Parnate doesn't work. But it will...haha. So get back to me, I miss your funny stories, put my name on a post.
Be well my friend!
