Hey Scott,

Obviously, Parnate by itself was missing something, or you would not have felt the need to add the amphetamine. I like the idea of choosing Zyprexa to combine with Nardil, at least at first. If side effects become an issue with Zyprexa, there are many alternatives.

Yes. Zyprexa with Nardil is what I'm considering. And possibly adding a mood stabilizer.

As for the the added stimulant, parnate got me halfway there. Added stimulants got me all the way there. Of course that didn't end well.

I know that feeling. I had it early on with Parnate. I'm okay with that (I liked it and it didn't cause me any problems)

All of them :)

Fatigue. Lack of mental clarity. No enthusiasm no joy. I could go on all day here. Not being a whiner. It just affects every aspect of my being :(

ps-when I reached 60mg of parnate, I took a 5mg tablet of left over Ritalin that I had. I might have done this two days in a row. I had a TEN day FULL remission. When I asked my new pdoc about this he said "dopamine".

I know you get this. Its so frustrating to know that your brain is not functioning properly. I wasn't "high" I was just "normal". How much I miss that.
