wondering if I could get your opinion. I know you coorespond with a Doc in NY re tr/mdd and his first trials (or best trials) involve MAOI + tca or stim + lithium. Iv'e been on 60mg for 4 weeks, 10mg ritalin for 3 1/2 weeks, low dose lithium (doesnt agree with me) maybe a week. I've been on Parnate a total of 3 months. I had a ten day period in December that felt like remission. It started the second day I was on 5mg Ritalin. When it faded I added 5mg rit (total 10mg) and it didn't come back. I do get small A/D boost but not close to where I was.
Any ideas as to my next move? Increase Parnate seems like its time, not sure about safety of raising ritalin to 15mg. Can't find dosing info on that anywhere. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
~Jade
