My hospital plan was to start selegiline after a 5 day washout from Nardil and to add oxycontin. My depression was so painful that I didn't have the fortitude to try selegiline first so oxycontin was added almost immediately. Came home on 20mg of selegiline and 20mg oxycontin (10mg bid: supposed to be 12 hour release, but it lost any effect for me after hour 8). I was feeling okay to get out and I had a big work thing scheduled for Friday which I didn't want to cancel.
Plan was to continue going up of selegiline to 40mg. I was shakey on the selegiline; also had back pain which I did not associate with it As I continued at home on 20mg I became much more sweaty (clammy sweat) and my back pain moved into my legs. My pdoc did not answer my page either Saturday or Sunday, so I decreased on the selegiline to 10mg, 5mg, and today none.
I see my pdoc this afternoon. What does one do about a pdoc who does not answer pages? Word on him among colleagues is brilliant but not reliable. So I was not absolutely shocked this weekend, just made my own plan.
I tried prozac many years ago and had no bad effects from it, but also no improvement. I wondered if it might be a good base to mix with mirapex. Any feelings about wellbutrin and prozac together? Read some old posts from people who were successful with the mix. Or I could hop back on nardil and hope that if I go up really fast on it, I might get an effect again. (Someone just posted that, but I couldn't find it this morning). Any ideas will be welcome.
I had very bad suicidal feelings Friday and Saturday, but the oxycontin pulled me through once it kicked in.
