> You may have seen my posts recently about my transition off of various medications onto Parnate. Well, I got off the other stuff, and have just begun Parnate. I'm at day 2. I am having a horrible time trying to fall asleep, and I can't feel my sex parts. They've gone numb.
> So far, no antidepressant effect. If this drug lifts my depression, but continues giving me these side effects, I may stay on it for one year in order to get my life in order, and then stop the drug.
> I probably wouldn't even need any of this crap if I just had some close relationships.
> Often I feel that my life is like prison. It's solitary confinement most of the time, punctuated by prison rape on a regular basis.yeah, once i got things like, volunteer work, friends to live with, more friends to hangout with than i have time for, money dealt with, a couple gfs, there was a lot less stress and time for rumination... so the antidepressant was definately necessary but so much else has come from having a stable life (antidepressant effect plus mood stability... been able to cut down on benzos, mood stabilizer, parnate a little once it kicked in, and ritalin)
