Hello friends,
Some of you may remember me from a couple years ago when I made a lot of posts regarding my rocky start with Nardil. I'm happy to report that my depression and anxiety are in full remission and I am stable on 75 mg/day of Nardil.
I recently decided to go back to school at UC Berkeley to finish my electrical engineering degree (dropped out after my 3rd semester due to extreme depression and weight loss). I have ADD and a working memory disorder and am finding it extremely difficult to keep up with a full course load.
I was wondering what are my options for treating this while on Nardil? In the past, Vyvanse has been the best drug for my ADD but I doubt I will be able to convince my psych to prescribe that in addition to Nardil.
Are there any safe options for treating ADD while on Nardil?
I've heard Parnate is more stimulating, could switching to Parnate potentially help? I would be hesitant to go this route because I don't want to give up the only drug that has ever successfully treated my depression. Also, I can't afford a washout and re-taper right now, as I am in the thick of school.
Does anyone have any resources that I could show my doctor on the safety of combining stimulants with MAOIs?
Thanks for any help,
Nick
