Verne: I tried the MAOI Parnate about 1-1/2 years ago. I found, thru Babble, that the most-published dietary restrictions were wrong. I had no problems with tyramine reactions, with really no eating changes. I recall some mood improvement but I was experiencing a lot of sleepiness. That med trial also coincided with meeting my wife. So there was this wonderful novelty which energized me. So I stopped the Parnate; maybe I didn’t give it long enough. Maybe I’ll ask about Emsam when my current trial is over (I don’t think the current med, Seroquel SR, is gonna succeed). Oh – and acid would be cool.
Fi: That’s pretty much it; just getting thru the days (daze?). I spend a considerable amount of mental energy NOT thinking about things because I can’t come up with any answers. I haven’t posted for more than a year – nice to meet ya.
Phillipa: Hmmm – the age thing……. I don’t feel cheated thinking that there are so few years left for some new cure to be discovered. Many sources say that the new Ads have no greater a success rate than older ones. For me the age thing is that I’ve been trying to fix my life for so long that I have every reason to believe that it’s too late. Thus, I’m doomed to misery for the rest of my life.
Often I feel that all I have is a past; no future.
One more thing: I was taking Klonopin for over 7 years until 11/05, when I stopped and went thru the horrors of withdrawal. I'm glad I stopped but wonder what the long-term effects are. I kinda feel there are some lingering problems, though I don't want to ever take benzos again. I'm kinda pissed at my former shrink for prescribing it for so long.
Thanks to all.Ron
