I don't know about doubling it, what is the dose of each pill? IT makes sense to increase it by one pill, whatever that dose is...doubling sounds like too much unless the pill size is 30 mg, and then that would be what you would do. If one pill=15 mg, then go up to 45 mg. That is something you can discuss over the phone with your doc to see how that works.
Other than that, adding new things to Parnate would have to be done with your doc's suggestion as adding meds to MAO's, as you know, is tricky.
I added some other things to Nardil such as Seroquel and Lamictal...it is never easy to figure that puzzle out. I think at least an increase in Parnate is where you have to go first. Seroquel can stop your suicidal thoughts dead (sorry the wording) but true, I had that result, so it works.
