No it wasn't me that was using any other combo. I have used Parnate off and on since 1982, and recently changed to Remeron, but no other anti-depressant meds since I began Parnate.
I imagine that Dr. Bob cannot participate since he would have to be responding to hundreds of posts each day. But we have to be careful about the accuracy of information. I have tracked down several of the different references to Parnate with Remeron, and they can all be traced to one single reference from the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology from the 1990's. I can't find the full article, just the reference to this article in several articles published in Current Psychiatry. Of course this doesn't mean that this study wasn't valid, but its interesting that all roads lead to the same article. There is no other scientific reference available, that I have been able to find. Yet most drug websites warn that a two week waiting period is necessary, between Parnate and Remeron, which is apparently not the case. But its interesting to see how the information kind of filters down from one source, for better and for worse.
