> Hello Janet: I myself have dysthymia. Had it for years before I was diagnosed. Tried almost every antidepressant with partial effects. Also, I am ADD-H (without hyperactivity). People can perceive you as being lazy, too bad, for them in this case perception is reality.

> I finally ended up on Parnate. Taking 60 mg daily and have been on it for several months with outstanding results. As you might know it's a MAOI and getting a doc to write it could be difficult. I have energy, more outgoing, get more done, more positive, less anger (also take lithium 900 mg daily-started it to augment an antidepressant several years ago and it had some positive effects, that I knew were to the lithium that I decided to keep it). MAOI's are great for dysthymia (not the only class of meds), it's the dietary restrictions docs are cautious of. I'd talk to yours asap for other options. Blessings,
