Yeah, Parnate can do this pretty badly sometimes, for some reason. i'm not sure why. i think it might be partly due to acute alpha-1 adrenergic agonism, or maybe a result of some adaptation of dopamine receptors after sustained stimulation. i really don't know though. i've been quite curious about this myself. i really don't believe it's from any serotonin agonism, however (one of the few times i remember finding myself disagree with djmmm).
Hopefully it's just temporary though. i think that is often the case, if i remember correctly.
