My Pdoc is now gone for a couple of weeks. He is old and works from his home so he doesn't have a backup to fill in for him. I didn't get the prozac and I don't have plans to take it with the Parnate. What I wanted was to switch over to Prozac completely because Prozac and Parnate are the only to AD that have ever worked for me.
I hope the your new med helps you.
Maxime> Thanks Maxime, for that article. I've been thinking valproate. I guess I'll leave it up to my pdoc - I need to quit trying to self prescribe, I think. Not because I don't have good info but because it is ultimately to my detriment to spend hours obsessing over what the proper med or combo might be.

> Maxime, I don't like the sound of the important decision. I have a date marked on my calendar - it was November 11 but I've now moved it back to March 11 of next year. I don't know if it's the same kind of decision but I'm thinking my date on the calendar might not be a good idea.
