Hey Zonked, thanks for the reply! I've never tried Parnate or Nardil, correct me if I'm wrong but they give serotonin a good workout which would be a nightmare for me.
NE and DA meds seem to work wonders for me so I'll look into Bupropion for sure. I'll also look into Selegiline too. I've tried a RIMA before which was Aurorix to no avail. Thanks again

I have stopped working for the moment, I'm on sick leave with anxiety and depression....etc, you all understand. I've been like this for 20+ years. I've quickly established a medical support network. Great Dr/GP, psychologist and tomorrow I'm seeing a new psychiatrist. SUGGESTION PLS. I can't take anything that touches serotonin at all. So it's been a long and really tricky ride as I only just discovered the serotonin factor around 4-5 years ago.
