Okay Ace, Nardil Heavyweight, some questions for you!
Parnate is too stimulating for me, as I have bad anxiety (GAD) with secondary depression. Headaches, and a feeling of speed after first dose and then crash about 2-3 hours later. I see my doc this week, and I am considering the Nardil route, as it is indicated for mixed anxiety and depression.
I am a single mom of a little boy, so I cannot take anything for sleep that would knock me out.
When you do get to sleep at night, do you wake up feeling refreshed or are you dragging your but out of bed?
Secondly, do you feel heavily sedated like a benzo would do (ativan, xanax, clonazepam) or just a calm once the drug is working?
I have to go back to work, and I am trying to find something I can live with. Right now I am treating the side effects, tylenol, every four hours, Clonazepam to sleep instead of for my anxiety, coffee to stay awake during the day (which doesn't always work).
I have been on Parnate for 2 months, I have read it is the third month that you feel the best, but unfortunately I don't have time to wait and see, then wash out for nardil..
What can you tell me? You did try parnate as well right?
Thanks!
