Hmm maybe your right.. its just sometimes when i speak my mind i still fear getting a physical or mental blow or being ignored. Its sad posting is down because this was a great place to be. . i might be a bit babblespoiled, too.My thread back then drew a lot of attention since my response to Nardil was very profound and i had something what can be called a pretty major epiphany.

It was a very exciting time and hard as it might have been.. i look back to it longingly almost every day. Never before have i felt what it feels like... what my very being feels like. (had to go through alot of childhood trauma) Brief update: I quit relations to my family of origin for good. Experience has shown they wont ever change and are are viciously.. ehm ill put in one sentence: They want to destroy me in some dark way.

Well im waiting for the Nardil to come in like a little child waits for christmas. Im depressed on this venlafaxine-bupropion combo. Like i said due to bad mistakes of responsible doctors and periods of no ADs at all it has gotten even heavier than it was anyway. I need higher dosages now than i used to. Every episode of major depression has picked up where the last one has stopped and no one, not even the so called experts are calling what i have medium anymore. Its rock bottom depression.

Ok to the transition. It shouldnt be taken lightly although what the (non)experts say regarding Maoi.. well its way way overblown. Still its a very powerful med.

Like i said i can kick the venlafaxine out easily since it has like 20% of total AD activity in that mix. bupropion is way more effective for me. Question is.. how long does a significant SSRI action remain after cessation of the drug?

I dont wanna have serotonin syndrome or excess stimulation with bupropion. BUT and this is key: i do not want my underlying depression to get any worse so i want a transition as smooth as possible and i dont want to have a large timeframe where i go almost without AD(s).


Hoping for some knowledge input
