In reply to Yea, where are you guys, did you run off together? » Elizabeth, posted by shelliR on August 14, 2001, at 17:03:57
Hi Shelli. I didn't run off with anyone, although I might have run off by myself.
> I'm having such a hard time on parnate; don't know if I should just give up or stay the course. I think I'll present this question to the general board population, e.g. has anyone felt awful on parnate and then went on to have a successful run on it.
Sure, I had spontaneous hypertension when I first started taking it. Eventually I figured out that I needed to take it in divided doses, and then things began to look up. I'm really sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. Maybe you could stay on 10 mg a while longer? I'm not sure what else to suggest (other than adding stuff to combat the side effects, which can be a steep slippery slope).

And what is it with that August vacation thing? < g >
> Lorraine, I would guess, is away doing life right now, maybe a long weekend. I hope so.
Me too.
