Me again...I have tried Marplan,Parnate and Ensam but not very much luck, with the exception of Marplan, but that was years ago...I was one of the people who took it before they discontinued it in 1993. Then I was left high and dry, so to speak.
I experienced more problems with a stimulant and Nardil, than with Wellbutrin, so I wonder how they determine one is more risky than another. My hypertensive reaction was with Nardil and generic Adderall at a miniscule dose, less than what I have read people here have combined.
It really is a huge risky experiment of sorts but luckily I have avoided bad reactions except the one time. I really wanted to add a stim and my doc said no to everyone, after my reaction, but he went along with trying Wellbutrin. Although it was with my research on the two combined as documented by doctors in an article saying the 2 were safe together.
I jump in and out of Babble not a frequent flyer anymore and my life has gotten back to the craziness of a mostly non-depressed life, which has a whole different set of problems. NO matter how you look at it, life is very hard. Work stress right now has me in a very precarious place and with my history, it is never certain I won't crash and burn again.
Just hang in there, believe me, depression is beatable with a good doc and lots of persistence.
