I'm on 80mgs of Parnate + 20mgs Adderall.
This combination started out really well but lost strength after the 2nd week.
Then I was given Nortriptyline and then Lamictal.
Not sure which one did it, but I feel as if one of them, probably Lamictal, weakened Parnate even more. So now that I stopped Lamictal completely, I feel more depressed than before I tried it.
Now my doctor wants to add Lithium. But if this is going to make it even worse and permanently weaken the strength of my Parnate combo, I will end up almost as depressed as I was before I started on Parnate + Adderall.
So I was just wondering if anybody knows what would Lithium do?
I know it would be hard to figure out since every person is so different. While several people here reponded very well to Parnate + Nortriptyline, it did nothing for me except made me more tired and lethargic. Lamictal was even worse.
But I'd still like to hear other's experiences just to see how it's worked for others.
This seems to be the very last med I can add to the combo. After that I only have ECT to try.
Thanks for any info.

I don't know why this happened. I switched to frames and I reloaded the babble home page, and suddenly there was a repost.
The third one I have no idea how it happened. But if you could delete the ones that weren't replied to, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
