> I've never been on resperidone with Parnate, but I've taken Parnate for most of the past 13 years at dosages from 40 to 70mg. When I first experienced some poop out, I tried thyroid medicine and then, lithium. Neither of them worked. I started adding ritalin in January of this year and that really helps. After a recent consult with a "pharmacological guru", I just increased the Parnate to 80mg with the go ahead to go up to 120mg, if necessary. I hope the resperidone works for you. It sounds like something I should try.

> MichaelHi Michael,
I too have been on and off parnate for many years. I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind.
Do you experience a tremendous crash in the afternoon hours, where you just "have" to sleep?
If so , how do you counter this?
Also, it concern me that each time I return to this med, I need a higher and higher dose, and it works less and less. I mean, Cocaine is similar in this respect, (I know this not from personal experience).
Also, have you noticed any hair-loss from parnate?Thanks Michael for any info you could provide me with.
Anthony
