Hi sweet Nick.

I do take trileptal. I have VERY bad depression. I have attempted suicide several times. I need an anti-depressant.

Back in February and March I wasn't able to take any Parnate because it was reacting with an asthma med (but I didn't know that at the time). I was so low I could barely function. I had a suicide plan in place. It was very bad.

I might go back to the only other med that has worked for me - Prozac.

Thanks for your suggestions though. You are always eager to try and help people and you are very empathetic. :-) Hey are you single? ;-)

Hugs,
Maxime
