Hi,
Thanks for the input!I went back on the Parnate (having stopped it for a day) but I have given it a bit more time and have decided that is is not the drug for me. So am tapering (slightly fast as I am desperate to get rid of it and start an SNRI)
I really am not convinced that Parnate will help the OCD and further more augmenting has to be done in moderation.
I normally take 400mg Provigil and 300mg Wellbutrin (plus 200mg caffeine) when I'm on a non sedating drug to combat exhaustion but on Parnate I can only take 200mg Provigil and nothing else.Plus it is sedating in itself. I feel that adds to my depression.I can't use amphetamines as they are banned here in India.Although that is what my pdoc in NYC said would help. The next best thing is Ritalin but it destabilizes me too much and I hate it.
I have decided to shift to Effexor at high dose (around 300) and augment with Provigil (400mg) and Wellbutrin 300mg.You suggested an NRI- which do you think is best? Reboxetine? I may want to substitute the Wellbutrin with and NRI. What do you feel?
Anyway thanks do much for your input...greatly appreciated!
