Thanks for answering my request for help Link
> You've been through a lot lately Marty. How long ago since you started Nardil withdrawl?
Not sure .. hum I would say 18 days ? The withdrawal isn't over since if I stop Parnate the Nardil withdrawal come's back very quickly.
But let's say that Parnate as much as it 'saves' me the full withdrawal, it is also extending it.> Don't know what to say. You could keep the parnate on the lower side of things, and see if the Lamictal doesn't offer a little more eveness.
Well, I've got a problem with the Lamictal. My gen. doc has called me lately about the results of a blood test to tell my my liver enzyme level what the double of the normals. This is sure caused by Lamictal, whose's a anticonvulsant before everything else. So my Pdoc called another blood test to determine if I could stay on Lamictal... is sounds like a very bad idea to stop it while I'm not sure if Parnate gives me hypomaniac symptoms...
> Sometimes on and off MAOI's can cause swinging. I know a lot of people who have had significant mood fluctuations after stopping one MAOI.
Ahh didn't hear about that. I known every meds change was playing with your mind and mood, but didn't know MAOI was one of the worst in that regards.. being Bipolar 2, I'm sure to be even more sensible to those disturbance.
> Go with your gut, try to make decisions based on your long term behavior.
Well, I really want to go the farther I can on Parnate. Even if there is small hope that my mood probleme could be fix by the real/full effect of Parnate when it will kick.
I was thinking about adding a LITTLE dose of Trazodone to my regimen. I know that is it good for agressive mood and it would help balance the dopamine/NE vs serotonin which can potentially help for the unsocial/tearing part .. (oh and could also be good for sexual life)
I'd love to know what you think about that idea, doesn't it make sense to you ? do you see any reason why I should try this ? Another cocktail addition idea ?
Marty, The Mighty ;)
