Hi Maxime:
I have had wonderful success with Parnate and Nortriptyline! First remission in 15 years!. I was on 450mg Wellbutrin. I tapered down, pretty quickly, but then had to have a 14 day washout period before I could start the Parnate.
Pdoc had me start a TCA and go up on it while I was coming down on the Wellbutrin and so I had plenty AD in my system while I had the 14 day Wellbutrin washout. It all worked well except that I chose amytriptyline for my TCA so I wouldn't get insomnia. It made me exhausted day and night. When I switched to nortriptyline it was and epiphany!! It's been about 3 or 4 weeks on the nortrip and I feel a little better all the time!
I'm a happy camper!
Maybe your doc will let you take nortriptyline while you are tapering down your other drugs and have your washout period.
I'm on 50mg Parnate and 25mg nortriptyline. I had added Provigil before I ditched the amytriptyline. Now I don[t need it that much.
I tried ritalin but it made me more depressed.
Good luck! I know you're going to feel like a new person soon!!
