Parnate Augmentation: Pindolol and Thyroid Hormone

Posted by mrm1036 on March 20, 2010, at 10:28:54

Has anyone had Pindolol or Thyroid Hormone added to augment the effectiveness of Parnate?

I'm currently on:

Parnate: 100mg
Lamictal: 250mg
Abilify: 5 mg
Nuvigi: 200mg
Lunesta: 3 mg

Thanks again.

I've added thyroxine (T4) to Parnate. It helped a little - not enough. Pindolol is an interesting choice. You will need to be careful of hypotension, though.

Low-dose lithium?

Thanks SLS.

At my next appointment with my psychiatrist I'll speak with him about T4/Pindolol augmentation of Parnate.

Most of the investigations looking at augmenting antidepressants with thyroid hormone have used T3 (triiodothyronine). T3 made me quite a bit worse. I found T4 mildly helpful.

Scott T3 even as an adjunct to thyroid disease wired me and was like the coffee jitters. Since I think you once posted that your thyroid was normal was thinking you also experienced an anxiety effect from T3. Phillipa

I see.

T3 didn't make me feel jittery or anxious. It exacerbated the depression itself.

Wow, update for sure when you can. I just posted about augmentation strategies for Parnate and missed this all somehow.

How has Nuvigil affected you?
