> > There was one time that I was so desperate, that I wanted to see for myself whether or not combining an SRI with Parnate would precipitate a SS event. I chose Effexor as the SRI because it had a shorter half-life than the other drug I had available. I began displaying SS symptoms within 45 minutes, maybe less. I became incoherent and was talking jibberish to my parents. I could not get out of bed because my muscles were so rigid. I don't remember very much more about the episode except that I managed to somehow ask my parents to take my temperature. It was not elevated, so I decided there was nothing to worry about, and I resumed talking jibberish. It took about 2 hours to pass. I got lucky.

> I won't pry if you don't want to say that you had thoughts of harming yourself. From what I gather it could be a not thought through plan to try to get through a very painful period of depression.I was desperate to end the pain and live a normal life. I was choosing life over death. I was choosing to take a risk in the hopes that I would respond to something that my doctor believed to be absolutely contraindicated. I bit off a very small piece of Effexor to experiment with. Luckily, I had the forethought to do so just in case the experiment was a failure.
