> It sounds wonderful. Just what I'm looking for. It isn't known for causing hypomania is it? Wellbutrin and now Effexor have just been a disaster for me and I'm looking for something that won't send me up the wall.
Yeah it doesn't give me any hypomania and I am not happy about that :)
But I don't know why my anxiety is gone... it's just bizarre... I mean I was a real nutcase... sitting at home was bad, walking through a mall I would feel all the physical signs of anxiety....
... maybe all of the drugs i have been on the past 3 years have exerted a permanent (beneficial) effect on my brain?? ....
... it's like, when i'm around a group of people, instead of worrying about my performance, .. i am more likely to be telling them what to do (if this is hypomania it is very mild and short lived...)...the only bad thing about parnate is it gives me some agitation -- gabapentin gets rid of that pretty fast and at a low dose...
though if your problem is anxiety i hear Nardil is supposed to be better than parnate...
who knows! ... i wonder if the stimulating effects of parnate .. the pleasure in my brain is not distracting me from the people around me... so i'm too busy feeling happy to notice what they think about me? ...... i wonder if something like wellbutrin or ritalin or other stimulants might work just as well or better for me... i wonder if i have ADD or something....
oh and i just started parnate maybe 5 weeks ago, and i hear the real anti-anxiety effects kick in for some after 3 months, so i'm expecting the agitation to go away too...
.. other than that i really am having a hard time thinking of bad things to say... dietary restrictions? .. no big deal in my case
