Hi.
Thanks for the the agomelatine information.
> I am so sorry to hear you are having difficulty, as it seemed you were on the road to improvement.
For awhile, things seemed to be headed in the right direction. At some point, though, I began to gradually lose the antidepressant effect.
> You said you may go back to Nardil. What is it about Nardil that you feel helped you more than Parnate?
I feel more of a mood-brightening effect with Nardil than I do with Parnate. I guess you could say that Nardil is a better treatment for anhedonia. That's not to say that I would continue to respond to Nardil indefinitely. One of my doctors had a patient that needed to switch between the two drugs on a regular basis.
I guess I'm stuck with Effexor for another two weeks. This is probably a good thing, though. It forces me to give it a reasonable chance to work. In the meantime, I get to experiment with Adderall. My doctor hopes that it will help with cognitive impairments.
