Hey scott,im days away from adding to parnate one of the TCA`S,looks like it would be easier to obtain Nortplyine excuse the spelling over desimprimine.
My question for you is if you were on both,the latter currently,why did u choose to do so and stop the nortripplyine?
Its a shame cause honestly parnate does work,in the morning i do everything the same,im up,showered shaved workout etc,its just like parnate goes so far,it doesent get me out of the house,or socializing,or stop irational thinking,but i feel i am getting the most of the drug and what its supposed to do,thats why im so committed to finding an augmentor over discontinuing the medication,i cant expect a single drug to do it all,but parnate isnt helping at certain degrees i need it too,but without it im pretty sure id be much worse off.It is just hard to tell,anyway please let me know what u can,takes ur a great help!
Also i know u were a bodybuilder,if u have any pics to share feel free to imageshack link them here or at my email brklyn234@yahoo.com im very much into that i remeber hearing u were a professional at one time?

> My question for you is if you were on both,the latter currently,why did u choose to do so and stop the nortripplyine?I am still taking the nortriptyline at 100mg. I discontinued the Parnate so that I could try other things. Just be aware that there is a risk for the development of serotonin syndrome. Nortriptyline is not as selective for norepinephrine as desipramine is. I found no problem with Parnate, but I did experience a mild reaction with Nardil.
I was never a competitive bodybuilder and I never took steroids. In the 1980s, you rarely found a competetor who didn't. It kept me off the streets, though. :-)
Here's a link to my homepage:

I don't have the energy or motivation to go back to the gym. I wish I did. Every time I get close to going, some medication change makes me feel worse. I haven't given up on the idea, though. I know it would be good for me.
You might want to try lithium at low dosages (300-600mg) to augment the Parnate + desipramine combination if you are still unhappy with the degree of improvement you obtain. Some people exhibit a robust response within 3 days. Don't forget about thyroid.

Really i would have thought the parnate was the rock and the tca was just piggy backing and if anything the tca would be stopped,i dunno i just dont see any viable option to replace the parnate as a primary med other than no med at all.
I still see hopes of augmentation.Your mention now of s. syndrome kinda diswades me,however the thyroid is something i keep hearing about,personaly if i could have my say id try to use what chairman maoi used which was the bup...
At least with that there was a chance it could actualy help me lower parnate and possably get off it,i just dont have the energy or patieance to deal with finding a doc.
Your pic is great,lol shows me down boy,theres actualy symtery to regualr people they are like wow to me but to anyone who knows there stuff im a bulky mess with mass out of prportion due to early improper training,i weight about 225 with a bench over over 300 easy.
I think u definatly could have competed,there are natural shows arent there....i.e Mr.America?
Anyway i feel u i no longer make it to the gym which i used to,however being compuslive i always think ahead,caught a giant warehouse the day it closed and uhauled over 500 pounds of steel plates for practualy nothing.
I have a home gym so i crawl into it and make myself workout otherwise like u id never get to the actual gym.
Nardil totaly sapped my energy by the way.
