Hi.

Actually, you can continue with the Wellbutrin if you want to. It's the clomipramine that must be discontinued so as to avoid serotonin syndrome. I was once on Parnate and Wellbutrin at the same time. It was my doctor's suggestion. You probably won't find too many doctors willing to try it. I doubt I could come up with any documentation that would be useful to you to present to your doctor. Mine based his decision on some of the work of John Feighner, MD.

I don't know how long you will feel the effects from the discontinuation of amphetamine. My guess would be 1-2 weeks. What are you experiencing?

> I took Parnate a couple of years ago, and it worked beautifully until it pooped out on my three months later. I wonder if my new pdoc would be more willing to augment than my other one was. I am now going through adderall withdrawal hell because I am tired of the rollercoaster--it is the only other thing that has worked for my depression. How long would I have to be free of adderall before trying parnate? I know most things they say 2 weeks, but adderall is completely out of your system in three days.
