OK chemist, I have more bad news. You might be able to help with what my psychiatrist is not sure about. I was put on an antidepressant called "Deanxit" in my country 9 years ago. I took it on and off since then. When I came to the USA, I checked with a couple of psychiatrists. No one had heard of it or knew about it. There's very little literature about it in English. I took it anyway cause it worked for me. I just discovered that it acts as an MAO inhibitor after frantically trying to research the company that makes it "Lundbeck". No where on the med does it say that is is an MAOI, neither do they warn about it. I had no clue!! I was taking it for 2 years while doing substantial amounts of E. I finally stopped it a year ago after developing a debilitating chest pain and stayed off E for a few months. I substituted with 5HTP for a while.
Obviously I'm not dead but could the combo have caused irreversible damage? I need to understand my condition to help myself. No one seems to know. I met with a psychiatrist who was in a big hurry. She prescribed Celexa and told me to go back to see her in 15 days.
Can you give me some information or direction???
THANK YOU!!
