> Wlebutrin isnt a ssri,or maoi.Not sure where it falls actualy,but yess as you said me personaly can not tolerate ssris at all.Not a single one

> Hi Shasling, was into a million things before, sorry. I can tell you a little about your new meds but not the whole package and sometimes as I've learned its tweaking one thing that makes the difference.

> First, I think we're deficient in the same thing, ssri's make me a paranoid mess. Never again. That was from Prozac and 3 days of Lexapro.I couldn't look people in the eye. Parnate took months to work but I think it was dose, not duration. I felt improvement at 70mg, (only once before that when I added 5mg of ritalin) and my new PDoc added 40mg Ritalin. I'm now at 80mg Parnate, 60mg Ritalin, and am currently tapering off Klonpin. I feel almost as good as new. I apperantly have some issues that need to be worked out in therapy....weekly.

> My PDoc sees me every 2 weeks for 1/2 hour and keeps really close watch of my blood pressure which is finally normal, 120/80.

> I tried Wellbutrin a long time ago for add, small dose ritalin worked better for me.

> I liked Wellbutrin, the first week or two you get a huge rush of energy, so get your projects lined up! I had to stop cause it made me irratable in the eves when I was raising young boys. My Dad takes it with Cymbalta and it works for him.
>
> Klonopin I took for nerve pain, I always liked it for that, good for sleep I geuss. I never got that "good" feeling people get from it. Wasn't bad either. Zyprexa I know nothing.
>
> So I geuss thats it. I mailed you a while back. Was wondering about Parnate or something. Mail me if you feel like talking. Again, glad your back.

>Thanks for taking the time to answer,i am curious where wellbutrin falls,ill find out when i have time to browse,but i feel better knowing that im no the only person who lieterly cant tolerate ssris,i can take them what so ever.
Im really nervous about leaving parnate,but the rollercoaster of augmentation,the sexual side effect of not being able to finish,and god the insomnia are simply not matching the beinifit any longer,i have to switch,wish me luck,thanks!
