Hey Ed,
> A very small amount of norfluoxetine may still be present. It can't hurt to take a very small 'test dose' of Parnate for the first few days of treatment, just to be on the safe side.
I'll be starting low anyways to get used to the side effects if there are any at the beginning. Probably 10mg the first few days then I'll slowly add after that.
> You have a job and a girlfriend. You have a degree and are physically very healthy. You are intelligent and you're being pro-active with your treatment. You seem to be doing rather well to me!
True, on paper I guess it doesn't look too bad, but my life tends to go in cycles that way. Things go well, then the bottom falls out. I've had a sneeking suspicion that I may have some mild form of bipolar, perhaps cyclothymia, but my pdoc seems to think otherwise. I've been considered by my girlfriend to be a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde, and I know I can be very moody. If I have any problems with poopout or excessive moodiness on Parnate I'll definitely ask to add some lithium. My grandmother was bipolar so it is a possibility.
> Me too... and we don't call you the optimist for nothing :-)
Awwwww... thanks Ed. :)
> Best of luck with the Parnate,
Thanks, I'll keep you informed on my progress.
