Hi Maxime,
I have been on two benzos so far and plenty of antydepressants (SSRI, TCA, finally MAOI).
I suffer from chronic dysthymia/atypical depression with great anxiety.
Parnate is the only med which has been helpful for depression and anxiety. However, 40 mg seems to be too much (anxiety increased). Klonopin makes me more depressed.
I have also tried concerta for hypersomnia associated with depression which came back while on Klonopin. It made me down even more.
I think the next med worth to try is Nardil. But it requires a lot of effort to get MAOI to the place I live.
Thanks for interest.
