> Hey Vince, How did your search/inquiry into importing Marplan into Canada go? Any idea of pricing/availability/procedure/etc..? American meds are insanely expessive (compared to Canada) to my knowledge. Let me know as Marplan is maoi round 2 for me if Nardil fails.

Hi mister!
Well...i'm still waiting from an answer from the Validus compagny regarding the importation procedure of the Marplan in the Canada...I know it's expensive and I think about others solutions before I meet my Psychiatrist doc next week. For now, the Manerix is already a bad "trip" experience...so i'm left without nothing to help me, just a small dose of Valium who is doing nothing for my anxiety, especially the social anxiety...I just feel in the fog and not in this world...and I hate that feeling...I will maybe post a new thread about Selegiline...since it's the only other MAOI avaible in the Canada...I know the Emsam patch are allowed in the Canada, but that's seem hard to get even if it's approved by health Canada...and it's probably expensive as well and not cover by insurrance...
One thing is sure, If the Marplan importation fail, I will have only 2 choices....try to convince my Psychiatrist to try the oral Selegiline (since I don't know what is the good dosage for depression, I will have to post a new thread...) or return on the Nardil (not my ideal goal but what I can do??? ).
The main problem is that i'm suffering from social phobia with too much co-morbidities like depression, general anxiety, panic disorder with agoraphobia and a BIG lack a lot of any motivation and energy that's make my life not really organisated...We think I have also a little problem of ADD without hyperactivity...I just can't do anything good or finish something...or do something usefull for now and keep focus on something...well it's the way I feel...i'm completly empty of energy...physicaly and mentally...and it's not related to depression so it's why maybe the Selegiline, even if it's only in oral form, will help me more than the others maoi's...
I read that Selegiline is made with 2 molecules, one is similar with the regular amphetamine with no increase blood pressure effect. Maybe I will have more energy on it, maybe not... maybe it will help me to move more and be more motivated...maybe not...maybe It will increase my anxiety...maybe not...that's hard to tell...since I never read anything about the relief of the social anxiety and general anxiety from a stimulant drug or the Selegiline...
The Parnate was also similar to stimulant and I had severals high blood pressure crisis on it...and no energy at all...so I really don't know...
Anyway, I will keep you update of the situation...I hope Validus will answer to my e-mail...if not, I will told my Psychiatrist to do the whole process for me and put me on something else in the wating time...cause sometimes it can be a long process to get some drugs by importation...My Pdoc do it sometimes for some of his patients and he told me it can take more than 1 month before getting the drug...so I have no choice and wait...
For now, take care of you and keep the faith!!! ;-)
Bye!
Vincent ;-)
