> Wow karen, you have been through the mill. Whatever that means...all ground up, I guess. What a tough and scary year. Depression would just naturally go along with all that. Maybe as you recover physically you will feel better mentally too. I sure hope so. One thing to consider with all that has been going on is if anything you are taking for your other conditions would be contraindicated with and MAOI. Probably not unless you have to take some kind of pseudoephedrine for your lungs. And your choice of pain killer not be darvocet or demerol.
> One choice you could make for now is to not make a choice and see how you feel as you get better. You can always start something later and if you don't like whatever you start, you can stop it. I hate the pressure of feeling like I have to make a decision, it is enough to make me anxious and depressed.

Also, no I don't use pseudoephedrine for my pulmonary problems. I use Advair inhaler and SpirivaHandihaler. I am wondering about Wellbutrin as a possibility once the Parnate is out of my system.
