In reply to Re: Augmenting Parnate w/ low dosage of Selegiline, posted by desolationrower on April 6, 2009, at 6:10:56
Problem is, my psychiatrist will NOT go any higher at the moment. He is willing to augment it though, hesitant but willing to try. Since no one believes it is possible to augment parnate with selegiline. What should I suggest to him to use to augment the parnate?
My primary issues at the moment are day-time tiredness, lack of motivation, and the frequent long-lasting depressive episode. Cognition is also a bit blunted.
According to him, adding a psycho-stimulant is possible, and he is willing to try. But, he said it is a 50/50 chance. That is, 50% of people find it extremely beneficial, the other 50% have a hypertensive crisis. Does anyone know of any journal articles I can give him to read, to sort of change his mind?
Also, when augmenting parnate, with say ritalin or adderall, what is the starting dosage? 2.5mg? 5mg? Same with a TCA, where does one start from, and which would be the best TCA to try?
Thank You
