Hey dude don't try this combination, life is too precious to waste. If you do this combo have someone there so they can call 911 for you. I'm not being negative, just trying to save your life. Try Nardil, Valium and Neurontin the most potent combination I know of. It will have to help. Make sure you take enough of the Nardil, too many doctors error on the stupid side of caution. The formula for Nardil is 2.2 mg. per lb. of body weight. If in between go higher! Hope I've been of some help.
Sincerely,
Luther
