I know MAOI plus 5-htp is a big no-no, but some pubmed studies from ages ago showed that MAOI plus L-Tryptophan (up to 10g a day!) can rapidly improve symptoms.
Is anyone on this board augmenting their MAOI with L-Tryptophan, and if so, with how much, and with what success? Any hypomanic/serotonin syndrome symptoms creep up?
I'm on 80mg of Parnate and seeing partial response. Also on abilify and tianeptine and trying memantine. SNRIs have worked for me in the past but send me a bit hypomanic, and don't do enough for dopamine so I end up a compulsive, hypomanic mess with really bad ADHD. So I need something for dopamine hence the parnate. But I'm not sure it's as strong as 300mg of Effexor was in terms of serotonin, so i'm looking to boost with L-Tryptophan.
