Hey Todd, How's the Parnate at 40mg a day working for you? How are you splitting up your doses? My doc says 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening. I am also taking 2mg of Cloneazepam and hydroxyzine in the evenings. I have been sleeping a lot better and also I am able to stay awake most of the day. Tiredness hits around 2 to 4 in the afternoon. I take a nap get up take my meds and by 9 to 10 I am in bed and seem to sleep all night. The depression and other problems haven't gone away yet but I know it will take time. I am only on my 3rd week. Went to the doc last Tuesday and she raised dose to 40mg for 4 weeks. Haven't had really bad SE's but I feel I am still having some withdrawal symptoms from the Paxil. All and all everyone say my personality still seems to be coming back and that I am likeable again. Paxil gave the the I don't care about anything or anyone attitude, which I can now see. I am starting to care about things again, which is kind of nice and the sexual SE's seem to be going away also. Just wondering if you are doing well and how your SE's in comparison to Nardil are doing? Are you beginning to feel the Parnate in a positive way? I do get a little impatient waiting on it to work. I did have a reaction to some pickle relish which was in fresh chicken salad. I don't plan to eat pickle relish again. It was a very small amount. Other than that I have had no problem with the diet and I have lost some weight which is a positive. I plan to stay on Parnate for a good while because they say it can take a while to work. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks and Blessings, bluebird
