hey there. I started feeling the effects after one week if being at 30mg so that would be 4 weeks because I went up by 10 each week.
Sadly, my 80 mg dosage hasn't been working lately and I am so scared that it is pooping out. I started lamictal as well June and I am up to 200 mg so I pray that is what is making me worse. But I really have been more depressed and very lethargic and unable to concentrate. I have an appointment to see my pdoc the first week of August.
Although with Parnate you can go up to 130 mg if your pdoc is alright with that. And I don't think mine will be (new pdoc).
Just out of curiousity, does your pdoc hopy the ambilify will help the depression or are you bipolar ( I am).

But on the other hand, I do trust him and really believe that he is quite competent. He's also very open and never suggests that something is definitely going to work, and he always explains about each drug and possible future options and is very receptive to any questions or suggestions from me.

How long did it take for you to notice effects from Parnate? And what dose? I'm on 60mg right now, it's been 2 weeks and before that I was on 40 mg for 4 weeks.
