Hi Longecity,
I am on the long journey to understand and find a solution for the my mental conditions. I have a post on fighting ADHD induced lack of motivation (https://www.longecit...on/#entry857707) but the more I read and learn about ADHD and my symptoms, the more I am starting to think that it might be better to try something that is tackling depression more directly instead of just ADHD symptoms.
One group of medication that caught my attention were MAOIs. Things like Parnate seem to help with ADHD on a similar scale than Methylphenidate, but also tackle depression that often go hand in hand with ADHD, and even help with other conditions like rejection sensitive dysphoria (https://www.additude...alongside-adhd/). So yeah, things seem almost too good to be true. Just, the hoard of interactions and dietary restrictions that come with MAOIs is stopping me from giving it a fair try.
Then I learned about RIMAs like Moclobermide and Pirlindole. Similar effects, far less risks and interactions. But there seems to be the argument whether MAOIs / RIMAs are even still necessary when SSRIs / SNRIs are already able to do most things these do.
My question, does anyone here have some insights/opinions on RIMAs vs SSRIs for depression + ADHD symptoms like I stated above and can help me with making a informed decision which direction to go?
Also if I were to start a RIMA, is Methylphenidate completely out of the question? ("Combining Stimulants and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors: A Reexamination of the Literature and a Report of a New Treatment Combination" - https://www.ncbi.nlm...es/PMC4805402/)
