Question: i've never tried the combo of a benzo and stimulant together (though one or the other i have many times, esp. the latter). But while stims have often been useful for SP/SA for a short time after i take one (couple hours or so), i can't understand how they would be useful on a continual basis. Is this combo really that effective, or just while the stim is working (for the two or so hours)? Thanks.
Francesco, i'm not sure but i wonder if having the antipsychotic along with the Parnate might actually help prevent hypertensive reactions (since it would block many dopamine and/or norepinephrine receptors). i like your comment of "but the only thing I want to do is sleeping and reading psycho-babble threads" -- i can identify with that. Good luck to you. Man, i wonder if having SP in Italy would be even worse-- being surrounded by all those outgoing Italians. Like i'd think that living with SP in say, England, might be a little easier. i wonder. But, i dunno, that could just be a moronic thought. Anyway, good luck.
Oh, to Nolan & others: i was on Parnate for a couple months recently and i'm sorry to say it didn't really help my SP at all-- may have even made it worse. i'm on about 2 weeks of Nardil though and it's helped considerably. Just me. good lucks.
