> A couple MAOI augmentation meds that may not seem obvious are lamictal or T3 (thyroid).
> The lamictal can be effective if the "poop out" is a kind of drug-induced hypomania/depression cycle. This helped me when Parnate pooped out. Also, T3 (of a T3/T4 combination) can help reactivate the benefits of pooped out meds even for those who test normal for thyroid. Good T3 augmentation info in the "psychopharmological tips" section of this web site.
> Let us know what happens with your meds.I've been taking a small dose of Synthroid for about a little over a month now. I don't know how much it has helped or not. But my doc increased my Nardil to 90mg. Tomorrow, I see her again and I'm gonna ask her about adding a small amount of stimulant. I know it's contrainticated - but I've heard so many stories about people being on small amounts of Ritalin or dexedrine and it has behlped augment the Nardil wonderfully with the hypertensive crisis.
So, I'll hope for the best.....
