Sharon,
Thanks. That was not too much information. I welcome all info. I'm aware of the potential problems with anesthesia but that's the least of my concerns right now. I can understand why that that would make you leery though.
I'm returning to Parnate after having been off it for 2 years. It worked great for me in the past but required higher and higher dosages over a 7 year period. My body seems to be "adapting" to the Parnate too quickly this time. I know that Parnate will be effective for me when I get a certain set of reactions approx. 1 hour after taking it: elevated temperature, nervousness, slight dip in BP. After a week of taking it with these (mild to me) side effects I usually start to get the antidepressant effect (with nasty insomnia). Now I take 5 pills in the morning and barely feel it, and the 4 pills in the afternoon I don't feel at all.
I'm wondering if taking more at one time would make a difference. I'm also wondering how high I can up the dosage (with doctor's supervision, of course). Any input would be appreciated.
