Tell them again; get a new doctor; go to the hospital. Don't do anything drastic. Please.

What meds are you on? And I know what you mean about nobody listening. My family just says that's not fair when you talk like that. My husband says go ahead kill yourself. Fondly, Phillipa

Are you taking the Parnate and Desipramine right now? Which meds are you taking?

I know how you feel. More pills are always their answer.

Hi
I just wanted to know how you are doing now? I also wanted to know what meds you are taking because at one point you were going to combine the Desipramine with the Parnate which is what I want to do.Can you give us an update, I am worried about you.

i am less desperate but i had a really rough time on the weekend and visited the emergency room because i couldnt stop myself from destroying my apartment. god i don't know what's wrong with me i go from hardly being able to stand or think to not being able to control myself. ive still been to scared and lazy to try the parnate with the desipramine, though i finally have a blood pressure monitor to use. oh god i dont know what i am going to do. i have an exam tomorrow and i can barely get myself to follow the words on a page of the books im trying to study. :( i can't get myself to do anything, my clothes are filthy, i'm starting to smell and there is nothing that gives me the slightest pleasure but my useless hanging off the company of other people who i really dont think of as friends. my mum lived and died like this, never being able to want or aspire to experience anything in this world, to just rot, and i am just the same.

Hi there. I'm sorry you had such a rough time, but I am so proud of you for going to hospital. Were they helpful?
I know a few people who have taken Parnate with Desipramine and they didn't have any problems. Worse case scenario, you stop taking the combo.
You are NOT your mother and you do not have to end up like her. It can be different. There are more tools available today and people are more open about depression. Can you see a therapist at school?
Just set yourself small goals and you will make it. Keep posting here for support.
I'm thinking of you.
Hugs,
Maxime
