> hey i've decided to give up Parnate indefinitely too. like you i've just gotten stuck with a pdoc who just can't treat me properly, and refuses to augment in "experimental" (low-dose TCA) but ultimately safer ways than AP's for sleep

> the insomnia is just too much for me, i feel like i'm on the verge of losing it. Dr Golberg said in his opinion tolerance doesn't really grow to it. he also said he *never* uses AP's unless psychotic symptoms are present (my pdoc is pushing risperdal, despite my worries about TD)Hi g_g_g,
of course sad that you need to give it up for now, BUT GREAT respect and congratulations that you decided for yourself and took responsibility despite what your pdoc might have wanted to *force* you on!
Opinions about APs are different, but I'm -like you- one who believes that they're sometimes doing more harm than good.
Also great that Dr. Goldberg only uses them to treat psychotic symptoms!
> oh well, thankfully we're moving overseas to a bigger city centre soon where my Uncle is a hospital MD, so i think i'll just hold off for better treatmentI wish you all the best and good luck!!
What are you planning to take till then?Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you'll get through that hard time well and without too much trouble!
