> The med combo Dr. L prescribed after I stopped Nardil was Zoloft + High-dose Neurontin (I was also on depakote). You may want to consider this, but I don't think anything is really a replacement for Nardil. He said Zoloft was the closest SSRI to Nardil, I assume because of its effect on several neurotransmitters. It's also the most potent SSRI. He seemed to imply that Zoloft + Neurontin is a reasonable attempt at an alternative to Nardil. Anyway...

Hi Jon, what does your pdoc think about sibutramine? Just curious since it blocks the reuptake pumps fairly strongly for NE, 5-HT, and DA. The major metabolite for sibutramine is in clinical trials now for ADHD. I got decent response from Zoloft (+Neurontin/Klonopin) in the past..(pdoc goes: "this is the best I have seen you"), but I can't hack the nausea/diarrhea, restless legs, and sleep disruption, and hypomania of Zoloft (probably)due to its metabolite O-desmethyl-sertraline (ODV). What I am wondering about is a trial of sibutramine with Neurontin+Klonopin+Depakote... Mitch
