I see psychiatrist in a week.I've been doing alot of research/reading/peoples threads etc.I'm considering Parnate because of it's low side effect profile and stimulating properties.But I would probably have to augment with a more GABAcentric drug for it doesn't seem to target this area.I have GAD with mild to moderate depression and can be OCD at times.It manifests its self in very low energy levels and loss of interests in my passions + general motivation.It seems Parnate would help with this.Does it tend to cause hypertension and what could I augment it with?I've used gabapentin but seemed to lose it's effectiveness/poop out when I took it.I do take Klonopin daily but would like to ween off of it due to longterm cognitive damage it ossurs.
I've heard really good things about Nardil especially for the anxiety part of the equation but weight gain,sedation and possible liver toxcisisty(sp) are not acceptable.How common is this liver issue as does Parnate cause the same issue longterm.
Last,I've read more and more about the exceptional benefits Selegline and how in low doses it could be used in combo with an ssri likr Lexapro?
I would appreciate responses from anyone who has used any of the above meds or cmbonations listed above or has any suggestions.I see the doctor in a week and I am trying to get a plan of action startng a new med regiment.The Wellbutrn did not work and I've had to wait 2 weeks for a washout.My doctor and I are willing to try anything for a good trial run.
Again responses greatly appreciated.You guys/gals help ouy immensley!
