My pdoc has been pressing me for several years to either do ETC or Parnate. I had tried a short trial of Parnate many years ago and thought it had triggered my autoimmune stuff. I was just about to do the ETC when I decided to try the Parnate duo first. I am SO GLAD I did! My pdoc thinks a combo of Parnate and either nortriptyline or amytriptyline is "Magic". I chose amytriptyline because I have sleep problems, but since I get tired during the day I may change to nortriptyline.
I started the Parnate on May 4th and am now up to 50mg and think it is finally starting to kick in!! I am really thinking Parnate is going to work for me!
I am so glad I found this PsychoBabble forum. There are so many knowledgeable and helpful people here with such incredible amounts of experience. I have gotten a lot of help with Parnate and I'm not afraid of it or the diet or the dosage anymore, or to augment it if necessary.
I have read a lot of threads about ETC and am so glad I didn't do it.
Whatever your choice is, I wish you well. Being depressed is a B----. Gayle
