> 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.

Just my personal opinion, I would discontinue everything except for the Klonopin, under your docs supervision of course. I know tech. you don't HAVE TO, but I think when starting an MAOI you want to see what the maoi does first, without all the other meds, heck maybe you won't need all those other drugs anymore. Or, just maybe Parnate won't work as well for you combined with the other meds. As always, your Pdoc will tell you what he thinks is best for you. Good Luck.Tyler
