>Hi Jade!
Good...I hope the addition of a higher dose of Ritalin will help you ;-) CBT will also help a lot I think, if you have the energy to do it of course... ;-)For now, MY plan is not as positive than you...
I never get an answer from the compagny who promote and sell the Marplan (MAOI)...Validus...They never answer to me, even if I e-mail them 2 times since more than 1 week...I just wanted basic info like the price and how to import it to the Canada...They seem to not be very friendly with that process or they don't care about the Canadian residents or market...Anyway, it's in the schedule F of drugs that I can import (3 months supply) by mail in the Canada...The Canadian Border are not suppose to keep the drugs...since it's permit as an importation here...
For the Emsam or the oral Selegiline, I will not try it...since I read a lot of old threads about the effect of the oral and the patch Selegiline...It will not help a lot for my social phobia and my anxiety....Yeah, I need to have more energy, but I don't want to increase my anxiety...
So for the PLAN...I will ask for the Nardil again, because it's Gaba-energic (or something like this...agonist and not antagonist...I learn my lesson now...I argue with another member of the Babble site about Gaba-B drugs...anyway...), and I will ask maybe just to add a real small dose of oral Selegiline, since it give some energy...I will not be able to get the Ritalin with the Nardil, since my PDoc is really not into combo or cocktail drugs mix...He prefer to work on one thing at the time...SO I guess I will be left only with the Nardil...start it at a very low dose, 15mg week...increase at 30 after 2 weeks...and be able to reach the 90mg just in 3 months...He is also very slow on the increasement of the dosage...I hate that but well I have no choice...
At the same time, I will bring to him the informations I found about the importation of the Marplan in the Canada, he will be able maybe to do all the things for me...we will see before the price of it...I read somewhere that a 10mg Marplan pills is something like 2$...since the effective dosage is 60mg, it will cost 12$ day...for me that's expensive, since with the public insurrance in the Quebec province, we don'T pay for drugs in the approved list ...Nardil is free, oral Selegeline is free also...but we have a limited choice...Ritalin regular is cover but not the SR version...Celexa is free but the Cipralex (Lexapro) is not cover...Effexor-XR is cover, but not the new Cymbalta...
So that's it...for now, I have to wait until next tuesday before I See my Pdoc again, I just sleep all day long, no energy at all, I use the maximum dose of Valium I can (20mg minimum/day) just to be able to calm down a little bit...and at night I need to double my dosage of Seroquel to be able to sleep (so 2 x 25mg)... I have only 2 pills left in my bottle and I can't have a refil of my prescription before the 7 february...I can't call my Family doctor office, since they don't take call...before I Was able to talk to my Doctor at anytime, now I can't...I see him only the 16 february so I will ask at this time to double my dosage of Seroquel..but for now I will have to buy cheap allergy medecine to help to sleep at night...I try some Unisom, the Xtra strenght version, they do nothing on me...Anyway that's another story...
I'm a lot frustrated cause I can't do progress and work on my CBT...I'm not able to find the energy at daytime to go outside the house and make my exposure time in social events...(Shopping center for now)...And i'm also a lot frustrated because I'm left without AD to help me now... That's too bad I Return my box of Nardil to the drugstore 2 months ago...I had a lot of them so it will be a good option to begin it before my appointment with the PDoc next week...but now I have to wait , again...and all the long process it will take to reach the 90mg...it will be very long...
Well that's it...that's a hard time for me...I never felt this way before...I feel not very stable...And my blood pressure never return to the normal after my adventure with the Parnate...strange no??? I'm always at the 140/90 stage... I wonder why...before it was always low...
I will have to investigate for this also...ask for blood test and others things like that...
Well, for now I have to go, but I wish you a good luck with your PLAN...I really hope it will work ok!!! I will think of you ;-)
Take care!
Vincent ;-)
