> Yea I tried Lamictal with is but was eventually put on quetiapine (Seroquel) 50mg. Small dose strong effect! I take 90mg/day of isocarboxazid with my doc's backing all the way. I have huge problems with hypersomnia. Hoping switching to Nortriptyline might give back some energy. I also take bupropion 300mg and clonazepam 5mg. Sorry you have problems with higher doses of isocarboxazid. Have you already tried phenelzine?

You wrote that you are taking 4 drugs in combination. I am unsure as to how this could happen. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
True or false:
A. The same prescriber prescribed all of the drugs that I am taking now and to take them all in combination in combination.
B. That prescriber told me that I could die from the effects of taking those drugs together.
C. The prescriber told me that I could have a stroke from taking these drugs together
D. The prescriber told me that the drugs could be addictive
E. The prescriber told me that seizures could happen from the drugs
F. The prescriber told me that there has to be a period of time to stop a drug listed here before taking another of these drugs.
G. The prescriber told me, "Trust me".
