> -d/rI'm interested in more info on this subject as in addition to the anxiety I was also experiencing a spaced out feeling that was very similar to how I felt when I increased my valproate dosage too high in the past. A kind of hypnotised, muzzy feeling like I was moving in treacle.
I had inititally attributed this to the couple of extra diazepam I'd taken to offset some of the anxiety but again in hindsight, your suggestion of a possible synergy between the valproate and the phenelzine would feel closer to my exeperiences.
Could you point me in the direction of your source please? I have full journal access to look things up.
