>So do I! You know when you've been sick your whole life it really is a miracle when you go into remission. My psyche literally was programmed from almost birth to believe things would never be right for me. My only happy times were times of self medication.
It seems like for many people, parnate monotherapy is like a recipe with a missing ingrediant.
With major surgey (hip replacment scheduled for 9/29) now is not a good time to start an maoi as I would have to get off a couple weeks before surgery.
Once the surgery is done with and I am healed and off narcotics it will be time to start putting my new recipe together. Parnate as the base and nortriptyline as a strong contender as an augment to it.
