Thanks Phil. I note that you are / considering taking Klonopin w/ Marplan. I take .5 to 1.0mg of Klon for sleep. During the day I take either .25 of Klon or the same of Xanax as needed for anxiety. I prefer Xanax during the day as it works faster and has a shorter half life than Klon. Neither do I feel have caused any adverse reactions with Marplan. For myself I also do not
consider either of them to augment the antidepressant effect of Mar.As a curious side note, I have increased Mar dose from 10mg. (after finding myself going back into a serious depression)to 20 mg. for a couple of days and than 30mg. yesterday. Though things are still on the dark side, I do notice the beginings of a lift today. Hoping this continues without experiencing the side effects of over medication from the past.
Pdoc has also added Zonegran, a relatively new and interesting anticonvulsant that is starting to be used as a mood stabilizer. It is an add on for me as there are reports of it having antidepressant qualities. It's apparent that Marplan may represent only a partial solution for my situation.
