Hi Sarah. I want to thank you for being so helpful in my time of need. :-) You are very kind. I tried Nardil twice. Once without a proper washout of Parnate and once with. I could handle it. I was throwing up and dizzy. I tried to see if the side effects would go away, but they didn't. I wish the Nardil had worked.
When I added ritalin I became suicidal when it wore off. The SR was no better. Then I tried Adderall XR which was excellent and then it was taken off the shelves in Canada. Now it is back. When I have the money I will be take the Adderall again. For now I take Dexedrine which makes me crash but not as much as the Ritalin and I don't become as nasty either.
I am going to talk with my pdoc (phone consultation) about adding the sulprimide to the Parnate instead before trying the Prozac. It's worth a shot.
Anyhow, I will let y'all (I've always wanted to say that) what we decide to do.
I am very grateful for my friends here on PB. I'm sorry that I haven't been very helpful to others these past weeks. :-( My brain is so fuzzy.

I would say that, for me, it was more of a stimulant than an anti-depressant. It was definitely stimulating, but I never had much improvement in mood while on it. I had severe disruption of circadian rhythms on it, as well as narcolepsy-like sleep attacks during the day (apparently that is common with the newer dopamine agonists used for Parkinson's Disease). When a tiny amount of Ritalin was added to Parnate, I had some improvement in mood as well as a better sleep-wake cycle.
