ps it was suggested to me by other psychiatrists to go on lithium as well, because the nardil did make me rather manic at times. However, at the Maudsley hospital they always told me that it is better, in principle to stay on one drug, and that is what I chose to do.
When the nardil stopped working and I broke down totally, I was put on seroquel, which I hate. They then said they wanted to put me on lithium but I refused, and insisted on parnate. My present psychiatrist has never prescribed parnate to anyone, and neither have any of his colleagues, but luckily he could see that I have my own personality, and he compromised with me. He is naturally thrilled now, because of the great result with parnate. I was totally suicidal when the nardil stopped working. Unfortunately these drugs dont cure anything, and I suspect that long term use can sometimes lead to problems, but in my case, I didnt have a choice.
