I tried pretty much everything. Been there, done that. Parnate not only was intolerable, side-effect wise, but did nothing for my depression.
My kids don't fill the gap that being loved by an adult women, and being in love with her would fill. I love my children, and I've hung around 10 years for them, getting worse, year after year. At what point is my suffering too much? I don't feel like I'm giving up on them at all. I sick of suffering all day long, and all night long (I can barely sleep, I've tried everything for that too), nothing to look forward to, no hopes, no dreams.. well, plenty of dreams, that's how I survive... living in a dream world is not living. I can't even spend time with the kids anymore. My life has no meaning. There's a point where your suffering gets great enough that just being "alive" so your kids have a "living father" that's in bed all day, is rather pointless. They will survive. I'd done everything I can. I can't do it anymore.
I already feel like I'm starting to "lose it". Losing control of myself. Never happened before. I'm NOT going back to the "hospital". They never helped me there, just made me feel like a prisoner, helpless, like a child. Never again. I'll kill people before they drag me back to that hell.
Now I can understand where those people who talk to themselves on the street come from. I know they didn't just "start off" like that in a day's time. I won't be this drooling guy in a strait jacket my children are afraid to visit, just so I'll be "alive" "for them". No thanks.> My grandmom was on nardil and she had profuse sweating from just slowly walking in the summer time. She had to have surgery because of cancer, and was off the medication for at least 3 months before she could even walk again. Once she was able to walked she stopped sweating like that. I didn't know if it was the nardil or the cigarette smoking. After reading about you're situation I think it might be from the nardil. Nardil can cause edema, a build up of fluid in the body. Perhaps the sweating is an attempt to remove that liquid.

> Like I said once my grandmom was able to walk again 3 months later the sweating was gone, and she didn't have it all summer and she took Nardil for, I wanna say, 30 years. In case you are wondering, the sweating happened way before the cancer started to develop.
