I hear of the things u add,it surprises me you havent tried adding a simple stimulant.
As you probuably know from here,i failed on nardil,very dissapointed,but i did,all i got was anxiety reliaf,which was nice,anxiety was gone.
However i workout and for the first time in my ENTIRE life i had people telling me im getting fat,this was alien to me,i have trouble putting on weight,i was becomming a fat slob eve with pouding on the weights.
Also my solider took a vaction on me,i could not believe how he just died,nodda it was something.
Most to my dissapointment was i got extreme anxiety reliaf,however i achieved zero anti depression effect and zero pro social effect,i was at 100 plus dose when i finaly stopped it.
Getting past all that,i recently pooped out on parnate,which was my wonder drug at one time.My doc added ritalin to it,and in a few days i was out of the gut wrenching depression i thought i could never ever ger out of.The ritalin in fact is keeping on the ledge of what feels like success i wont be sure until i see my doc tommorrow or the next and get the ok to start rasing me ritalin,i truly hope and believe a higher dose will help me greatly.
Point to all this is,there are documented articles,ones i have from this board i can paste,which show a high success rate of ritalin being added to both nardil and parnate.The article mentions the parnate,nardil//ritalin combo is one of the best choices for treatment resistence.
One thing i can tell u is before the ritalin even touched the depression my sex drive skyrocketed,it is still there,in fact it is at a pre med level,i thought even remember it being this good,Not to be graphic i know there are woman here,but i get peridoc erections through the day,psychoicial stimulation comes easy,sexual desire comes easy,and most important for me FINALY FINALY the ability to orgasim has become very easy.This was the very first thing i noticed when i added the ritlilan around day two.
Wiring down,there is mentioned in the article,and from my exper,NO INTERACTION at all from the combination of ritalin and maoi at least from the starting dose of 10 mg im on.
I know this is a long long pos,but its what is going on with me right now,so it is a topic close to me.So ill askhave u thought about adding a psycho stimulant such as ritalin???
