> Thanks for reply. I'm on 175 mg of Lamictal -- once beyond 100 it became sedating, with or without Parnate. I'm leaning towards staying on Parnate for full trial. Up to 50 on Tuesday, then onwards up.
> BTW, why did you go off the Parnate?
It didn't produce an adequate antidepressant response - even at 150mg. I tried mixing it with Lamictal, desipramine, thyroxine, Dexedrine, and bromocriptine.
> Also, any suggestions on how to spread out dose once it gets to 60? How about 30 in morning, 30 early afternoon?
Perfect.
If low blood pressure becomes an issue, you can try spreading it more evenly, with the last dose to be given at 3:00pm. If insomnia does not develop, you can spread it over a longer period of time. I found that the low blood pressure became less pronounced over time.
