I saw my doc last Monday. My regimen was Parnate 60mg, to which I didn't feel I was getting any response, and Lamictal 150mg, which I also didn't feel I was getting a response. He suggested going off of Lamictal. I said I wanted to up the dose and try it for a bit longer. Same with Parnate, as I've been on it only 2 months. I wanted to go up on Parnate, but he said 60 is the maximum dose. I also started taking Neurontin 600mg.
Anyways - the issue is that I have seen that many people go much higher on Parnate than 60. So, I've decided I'm just going to do it. My plan is to go up to 90mg. I also want to go higher on Neurontin. Up to 900mg or even more. I just want to feel some effects from something!!
I also want to go on a stimulant, but he said I can't with an MAOI. I know that's what all the warnings say, but it seems like people here have done it and it's been okay.
In any case - do you think it's bad to just do these things without my doctor's "approval"? I don't think he'd be mad at me exactly, but I just want to keep the trust and openness of the relationship. I don't want him to start thinking he can't trust me.
