> -d/rno, sadely Nardil didnt have the power I thought it did. I only felt better on it when I was in hospital for a few weeks. I believe that was due to the very structured environment, aswell as meeting people there with very similar problems that I felt comfortable around.
Weight gain 40lbs, Lethargy, water retention, sexual SE's, weird smell, stoned feeling and the tiredness made me get off Nardil. It may have kicked in a few times for a week or less or if I drunk liquor but that was it. I felt it had no potential (I did have it augmented with the same things I have written in my first post of this thread). I feel Parnate has much better potential. Parnate feels much different/cleaner and has given me many more days of remission then Nardil ever did. I just need something to keep Parnate working. 2 things have made Parnate work for brief periods:1. Added modafinil 200mg BID (then I ran out), but it did make the Parnate anxiolytic effect kick in for the 2 weeks I had modafinil. I see my new Pdoc tomorrow so Ill definitely be pleeding for a script of that. my Regular doc wont mix the two unless authorized by a Pdoc.
2. Added 4mg Klonopin BID. It works very good but I doubt I can hold at 4mg, my Benzo tolerance grows so damn quickly, I dont think it will be sustainable... nonetheless it works very well for a couple days when I need to be social, almost complete remission from SP. I know Id be up to 6mg Klonopin in a month if I used that combo daily.
Any Ideas before I see my Pdoc tomorrow?? He only comes to town once every 6-8 weeks and between that period I dont have contact with him.. Im so tired of self medicating from random doctors and walk in clinics... I really am at the end of my rope doing that..
Thanks for reply -d/r
PS- whats your med regime at right now?
