In reply to first day of ritalin-constantly coming down, posted by loolot on October 9, 2003, at 17:58:22
Hi Loolot
I am sorry you are feeling so badly. I too am trying to get my pdoc to give me Parnate after years on many tricyclics and the SSRIs, including Celexa which is what I am on now. I have tried Provigil because I have zero energy with my depression, but I was on Prozac at the time and after 10 years (which is the only SSRI that I really responded reasonably to) it was pooping out on me and the Provigil just couldn't pick up the slack. I thought about asking for Ritalin this next Wednesday from my pdoc, but now after your post I am not so sure I will do that. My pdoc won't prescribe MAOIs anymore, he thinks they are dangerous. I live in a city of over a million and only a small handful of pdocs will prescribe them here. My Mom is on Nardil and has been for 15+ years, and it has done wonders for her depression (my depression is much worse than hers). I hope you find something soon. I hope I do too.
Please keep us posted, I wish the best for you.
