> > A times I feel so suicidal.i'm sorry to hear all this, man. i thought you were doing well before. But yeah, i cried alot while on Parnate, too. It was terrible. The psychological pain & depression were tremendous. And Parnate kept showing me all too clearly the reality of my life (not that this is the case with you; just saying). Almost unbearable (sp?). i admit i was only on it for a little over a month, so maybe that was it, i duno. But i do much better on more "numbing" drugs like SSRIs and, especially, Nardil.

> The crying thing is normal if you're just starting to come out of the depression, and so are all the other emotions. That's a *good* sign -- ask for some non-pharmacologic help integrating those emotions into your life.Yes, but if he doesn't feel like he's coming out of the depression then i doubt it's good-- it's just painful. That's how it was for me anyway.

> And quit measuring your BP after breakfast! Don't you have a job to go to or something? <g>PS: i have no idea what would have caused the hypertensive episode (if everything was fresh enough). Garlic should be fine. That's weird. That's another thing i hated about Parnate-- just a pinch of tyramine (or who knows what sometimes) and i'd get a hypertensive reaction. Freakin thing. Hopefully it gets better for you though.
