> I've never ben able to take abonve 40mg of parnate before because i just faint non stop from low blood pressure.. 10 and 20mg knocks me out to sleep forhours which is the opposite to wha i need, i'm currently sleeping around 21hours without meds. I've had 3 attempts on parnate and 3 on nardil but theyboth caused too many problemswith m blood pressure so i had to give up.

> They also won't allow anything to be prescribed to augment maoi's.. in fact 90%of the doctor in the hospital here didn't even know how to spell phelenzine let alone anything else about it.. the medical system sucks balls where i live but i don't have a choice to move away so i'm stuck with it.I see. Mav I know you are in misery but may I say that I actually did laugh out loud when I read your post. Very colorful.
Okay. I've never heard of a state that "can't" prescribe ritalin to an adult. I was just like you sound Mav. I couldn't get out of bed, my limbs felt like I had cement blocks attached, and I didn't want to leave my room or see anyone. Sound familiar? The low BP you are experiencing will disappear with Ritalin as an augmentor. There's another argument for the need. What state are you in? Ritalin is a whole lot easier to get prescribed than Parnate from what I've seen, so if you can find the right PDoc. Well, Mav, not if, you have to. You can't continiue the way you are. I know because I was there too. Okay?!
This is your mission: Find a PDoc to augment that Parnate with a stim (I recommend Ritalin) your BP will come up and you will be in remission soon after, Okay? You may have to tweak things with your PDoc, but get it started. If you have to visit a relative out of state to get it, so be it. Just get the attention you deserve. And no more playing russian roulette with meds.
Post back with your progress....
