> What prevents you from remaining on Parnate until you get to 60 mg?Oh, well nothing really - I was just wondering if my last trial indicated it might be a waste of time, and, like I say, I respect your opinion a lot, so your expression of doubt left me more unsure ..

> Remember, if you decide to abort your Parnate trial, you will need to discontinue the drug using a taper and then wait two weeks before starting another drug. That could take a month. You could, instead, add nortriptyine, Abilify, Wellbutrin, or lithium as adjuncts to Parnate. A doctor would probably be more comfortable adding lithium. With lithium, a two week trial is plenty. Some people respond to it within three days. I wouldn't try any of these adjuncts until you are at 60 mg of Parnate for 2-3 weeks.Thanks. I see my psychiatrist tomorrow. I'll see how/if he's willing to augment.
