Anxiety treatment while on Parnate need advice

Posted by ChicagoKat on December 13, 2012, at 11:04:09

Hi,

I was recently on Nardil which had worked for me in the past, but did nothing for me this go-round. *Very* oddly it made me more anxious than I already am.

So I had to fight with the pharmacy over the insurance coverage, but I got my Parnate yesterday.

I was thinking I'd wait a day or two off my Ritalin before I start it. My pdoc is very squeamish about me adding Ritalin while being on Parnate plus Elavil 100mg qhs - it is the ONLY thing that helps me sleep.

OK, here's my question. I've read that Parnate is a more activating MAOI. I need advice on anxiolytics to present to my pdoc next week. I am super-tolerant to benzos, well to Ativan and Klonopin for sure - is there cross-reactivity with a different benzo I've never tried? ie, would valium or librium help? I developed the fastest tolerance in the world to Neurontin; I am on 3600mg tid and it does absolutely nothing for me. Lyrica makes me crazy. AAPs- all of them - make me agitated. Zyprexa even gave me akathisia. Antihistamines give me the paradoxical agitated reaction. I'll have to stay away from trazadone while on an MAOI. And Remeron would not be an option for the same reason, and also b/c now I get paradoxical agitation with it too. Can any of you excellent smart Babblers think of anything else I could try? It would be sad if Parnate actually helped my depression, but I had to stop it b/c of too much anxiety. Thanks so much.

Ive got a really bad disease
