Or maybe I live in the US so I'm too aggressive. <shrug> But my immediate thought was, "Why not increase the Parnate?" <<<That is my thought too: "Why not increase the Parnate". But in the UK the max recommended dose is 30mg and not the 60mg it is in the states so a clinician who prescribes a load more does so on his own responsibility.
Stimulants like ritalin are exrememly hard for adults to get here in the UK. I guess I'm lucky that my parnate metabolises to something which is stimulating.
