> I am not sure as to the role mood stabilizers are currently viewed to have in atypical unipolar depression, but you may want to look into it. I know that they are used sometimes. I mentioned low-dose lithium. This is *definitely* used with great success, especially when added to Parnate. Check out Lamictal.Actually Scott, my p-doc wants to try Depakote next as an augmentor, He was negative towards the Lithium because of possible kidney damage, which he has recently been seeing in some patients.
Scott,
Thank you for the great info on all the Parnate augmenting drugs, I didn't realize tricyclics or welbutrin were being used for this.
I just came across a scrap paper I had copied something down from a while back, the web address is (www.appi.org),and a quote from a Dr.says "The major problem reccomending stimulants is underdosage(e.g.5-10mg methylphenidate 1 or 2x day)" "In the absence of any effect, pos or negative, the dosage should be steadily increased up to 40mg/day of D-amphet, 80mg/day of methylphenidate, or 300 mg/day pemoline."
Just thought it was interesting and figured I'd pass it on to you.Take Care,
Anthony
