> > Will you be combining it with nortryptaline? That could be stimulating. Emsam increasing PEA concentrations. PEA acting as an endogenious amphetamine will cause NE/DE release. PEA actually inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine, like amphetamine.

I had taken Parnate with nortriptyline not too long ago. 20 years ago, that would have kept me up all night long. Now, I sleep right through the night. My brain has become numb to these drugs.

> - ScottHi Scott, how are ya dude? I know best as u can be. I know we have not spoken in a while.... but just wanted to let you know myself and all are pulling for you. Dude I am moving forward with VNS. I figure I have nothing to lose except a couple of minor scars and the hope it has of offering a 30% or more chance of helping me and you and many others. It does kind of freak me out to about the wires and what not ...but it is so much less invasive than short trials of meds and cocktails of meds or long for that matter and ECT...which we have been through.. man e-mail me at cinkc2003@yahoo.com ...lets chat and talk....I do not know all the answers but obviously "modern chemistry" is not getting us anywhere.... I have an appointment with an ENT surgeon on Jan 8th 2007 to discuss the 90 minute out patient surgery.... I figure if I get it done , the best thing that can happen is I have the best of "chemistry and another viable option" in my bag to help me get to at least half way normal...and if I do not, then I continue to suffer 100% more than I should. I do not say these things lightly. Man lets talk!
Best-
Clint
