Scott, this is great -- didn't you have a bad spell when you didn't think it would work -- after an initial POSITIVE response?
Cymbalta's next up for me. It looks like I'll be weaning the Parnate. I'm one of the few where side effects were severe on this med, with no way to mitigate them without blood pressure problems. I had blood pressure probs to begin with though, so that may play a role in Parnate's intolerability and ultra-sensitive reactivity.
In a rare show of enthusiasm for something new -- rather than impatience with me! -- my doc is hopeful about the eventual transdermal Selegiline. But who knows when that will be out.
Weaning the Parnate shouldn't be that tough -- I could only stay on >20 mg doses for several weeks. Then on to Cymbalta.
Good to hear you're better --
