or, ssris suck at first, while nris work faster.

And D/R you also where you been stranger? Love Phillipa
i find it hard to stop in for 5 minutes, and somehow i don't have time for more: my prioritization really is that bad. i get overwhelled seeing all the threads i guess.

> Just curious, if you don't mind telling me.hadn't felt depressed for a while, and wanted to try other things for ADHD. signed up for bar exam again, and hope to pass this time, so i wanted to be able to study this time. pdoc didn't want to add any of the things you can use for adhd to the MAOI, and after calling 2 or 3 others, didn't have any more energy to keep trying. actually, since i've been back, he said 'oh, well i talked to some people, and if you add the maoi to the tca, you can do it' argh! but at least i might have that as an option. i don't think i've been depressed, but i do have to work harder to avoid thinking of things that i dislike about my life. i also have more problem oversleeping than when i was taking parnate.
> Also, what is your take on Nortrip with Parnate. It seems to be working really well for me, and I'm not dead yet, thank goodness!
hey, that is great. i had tried to get that, before. what did it help you that wasn't there with either? i probably won't try to get the parnate again if i don't need it, but its possible depending on how things go.
