Would like to start a thread to get the boards latest thoughts on EMSAM vs Parnate. Last time I was on EMSAM was 2010 and I remember it being especially activating and a bit speedy, though I was in a different state of mind and on other meds too.
Now my 160mg of Parnate just isn't working, especially for anhedonia and motivation and initiative. I am bored sad dysthymic. Neither strattera nor desipramine adjuncts have nailed it and I am very weight sensitive so abilify and lithium are not options. And I'm also trying to significantly minimize my supplement and med intake.
So what are people's thoughts about EMSAM vs Parnate. If I switched to emsam I'd likely drop strattera and only be taking emsam and memantine as far as psych meds go.
The other option is to add dexedrine on top of parnate and strattera but am afraid of ocd exacerbation and of eventual poop out.
