Hi Shelli,

> Hope you are having a third good day on parnate.
>I am having a good third day--more mood support, still a bit draggy and very mild hyperventilating. I am optimistic.
> > > BTW, what is the most accurate test for estrogen levels?I believe that it is a saliva test, in your case (pre-menopausal) over a period of time (one cycle). Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories offers one. I don't know if their's is the best, although I do know that this laboratory is generally highly regarded among functional med doctors.
> > > I'm glad to know that both that you rarely have suicidal thoughts AND that you have a plan if you do.
What about you? Do you have a plan as well? And do you get suicidal thoughts? I know that you seem quite responsible about checking yourself into the hospital when you feel you need to.
> > > I'm pretty sure I'll start parnate next week.I wish you luck on it. Didn't you want to wait to see how the guinea pig did for the whole trial period < g >.
> > >Yesterday oxycontin with concera was fine until the early evening, when I felt a little sick in my stomach and totally exhausted When I tried to take a nap, I couldn't fall asleep. So last night I was a complete zombie, didn't do the treadmill or work. And then I had trouble falling asleep at 1am. So I'm still not real positive about stimulents for me.
Sounds wretched to me. Out of curiousity, which stimulants have you tried? Adderal? Provigal? Just wondering. By the way, the Neurontin (my 3 dose at night before bed) helps with getting to sleep.
