Hi Zonked
What was the reason your doctor prescribed it on a temporary basis only-i mean what would htat have to do with your housing situation? is the doctor you want to ask the same one who originally prescribed it to you?
I don't think you can take it with Parnate though i've seen people here try that. I wouldn't do it because i think it's too risky and maybe overkill.
Dex is a very effective antidepressant,imo, and should be rx'd more often. It's cheaper than alot of those new ones..I've asked a couple doctors for it and didn't have problems. I took a small dose, which greatly helped, because it never caused side effects for me unlike the nasty SSRIs they used to give me all the time.
Maybe you are scared because you said you are feeling ok (manageable)..and in that case, the doctor would wonder why you were asking? Anyway, congrats on getting your own place!
