Thanks Morgan for your input, if it winded up on the alternate page it was just an error on my part. I also do yoga, about 5 classes a week - I thought it was actually helping in the beginning it seemed the depression was not advancing as rapidly. Somehow with self talk and yogic principles I felt I was beginning to control it, I got better tapered of the meds and relapsed quickly (never happened that quickly before), started back on the meds and got better had tapered the valium down to 2.5mg and the Notrtriptyline lowered and eliminatedd the seroquel and then I tried remeron for sleep then trazadone and then relapsed miserably. I want to taper the valium and the seroquel but I need sleep so I'm taking it slower maybe 1 mg a week on the valium a little faster than the Ashton schedule but much slower than I've done before. I will ask my dock about possibly swithching to a different benzo - I don't like the benzos and the neuroleptics so those I will try to eliminate first. But thanks for taking the time to respond, I hope I can be of some help to you someday
I think you may have mentioned Parnate in another posting. Many years ago I took Nardil. The diet was a pain, there were a list of foods you couldn't eat - I don't specifically remember yogart but any pickled or fermented items, red wine I believe and cheeses (may not have been all cheeses). I think Milk was ok. I'll see if I can find the list and will make a posting. I like to eat a lot of ethnic foods so Nardil was a real drag for me. I was hospitalized at the time and was primarily treated with sinequan. I never got an explanation as to why I should be taking Nardil. I think some doctors just get attached to a certain drug or they see some characteristics in a patient that responed well and they make their choice that way. I didn't care for this doctor. I felt no better on the Nardil than than the Sinequan but that was me. My understanding at the time was MAOIs were used when people didn't respond well to the tricyclics.
The danger is a reaction that will cause very high blood pressure.
