Hi Emme.
I lost the reply I had written to your post. Grrr.
Anyway, I experience the same fatigue and weakness that you descibe. I restarted memantine at 20mg to see if it might help now that I am taking Parnate. I doubt it will. At the very best, I would guess that I will respond to it no better than I did the first time I took it with imipramine. My experience was very much as SadDoggie described. Tachyphylaxis.

> Antidepressant effects still holding. I've had to drop the dose back down to 5 mg b/c I can't tolerate 10 mg or 7.5 mg. I'll see if the benefit holds at the lower dose. Drawbacks: lotsa fatigue, spacey brain, and I swear the stuff is making me feel weak. I'm encouraged enough by the improvement to try to work with the dosage for the time being to see if we can minimize the side efects.
