That's right. heard of people needing sometimes to go real high with parnate.

> It has been good but hasn't done the trick and i was wondering about Nardil. Is it the kind of med. that you can take at a dosage far above the "officially approved" max.?

You can, but i would rather see if it works very well at the lowest possible dose. It seems you are assuming that you will need to take a higher than recommended dose of Nardil due to your Parnate experience? If so, this may not be the case at all.


> I know that you are not supposed to mix MAOI's with SSRI's, wellbutrin, buspar, remeron, etc. But is that really true?

with SSRI's- NEVER!
Wellbutrin- heard it done.
Buspar- i am not sure at moment.
Remeron is contraindicated, but this contraindication is not justified IMO.

Can you get away with adding one of these at a low dose?

Read above.
You can. NOT SSRI's but. NEVER SSRI's!

But, I wouldn't even be thinking about this too much until you have given Nardil a good trial as a stand alone treatment.


> Thanks!

No probs, hope I helped
