> Well folks, after an unsucessful trial of Prozac that made me absolutely miserable, the pdoc and I decided to put me back on Parnate. The reason I had to quit it in the first place is that it gave me an awful case of hives that made me alleric to almost everything and is still present even after stopping Parnate 4 months ago. We decided to not go above 30 mg per day and to use doxepin as an antihistamine to keep the rash from getting any worse. In case the 30mg is not enough does anyone have any suggestions for aumentation meds for someone with mixed anxiety/depression?
I've augmented my Parnate dose (50mg) with Klonopin, with great success. (although, I would caution anyone against starting a benzo-- it has worked wonderfully)
I have used the supplements DMAE, and B complex vitamins (essential when taking a MAOI), and the hormones DHEA, and Melatonin (at night for sleep)
