In reply to my research: parnate vs nardil, posted by floatingbridge on June 11, 2011, at 2:54:54
I've thought about the MAOIs before, not so much because I don't respond to other "antidepressants" as I just don't like them. I've always thought I'd try to make a case for Parnate, since it seems like it could cause fewer problems as long as you threw in some other meds to keep everything steady (polypharmacy is the name of the game these days, anyway).
I read somewhere that something--low dose elavil, maybe?--can be added to ongoing MAOI therapy to minimize the risk of the "cheese reaction." SLS will probably know more.
MAOIs just seem like such a commitment, though. Can you not go back on Dexedrine or some other stimulant? Like I've mentioned before, one of my friends loves the combo of seroquel plus adderall, both at full therapeutic doses. I guess its like a modern goofball.
Good luck!
