In reply to SLS .... Why the Nortrip?, posted by Maxime on May 25, 2005, at 12:31:47
Hi Maxime.
> Hey Scott. I was wondering why you combined Nortrip with the Parnate. What does it do for you that the Parnate doesn't?
For the moment, Parnate helps me by giving me more mental energy - sort of stimulant-like. Nortriptyline adds a sort of mood-brightening effect and some added motivation. Combined with Lamictal, I get about 15% improvement (BFD). I do not profit from the cocktail unless an MAOI is combined with a tricyclic.
I can attest to the safety and efficacy of combining MAOI + TCA. When I was 27, a combination of Parnate + desipramine brought me into full remission. However, for reasons I don't want to get into here, my doctor at the time discontinued the combination and never went back to it, but, rather, played around with other things. Now, the combination no longer works.
