> Anna P.Hello Anna, the reason I haven't posted about my Lithium-Parnate combo, is that today is only my 7th day on 300mg lithium, added to 40mg Parnate, 600mg Adrafanil. Tomorrow I am supposed to increase to 600mg lithium, so I figured I would post after a week at 600mg lithium to have a better idea of its efficacy. So far , no side- effects at least.
Unfortunately, after a fair trial of reboxetine/parnate combo, I didn't experience any improvement, and I went up to 8mg rebox. I was hoping the Rebox would jump-start the parnate,but it was not to be. I feel that the parnate has lost most of its effect.Over the years, each time I've taken it , it has worked to a lesser degree.
I must say, i went very slowly adding the rebox, since this was unexplored territory, and didn't incur any negative side-effects, but i would definitely let your doctor know if you decide to take this route. You probably would be fine introducing 1/4 tab parn. while also titrating down the rebox., but this is just my opinion.Hopefully the increase in lithium tomorrow will bring about some relief, but only time will tell.
I will post my parnate/lithium experience in the near future.Thank you Anna for your concern, it means a lot.
If I can answer any other questions, feel free to ask me. Good luck with any decision you decide to make.
Sincerely
Anthony
