Amphetamine metabolites have been found in the blood and urine of Parnate overdoses and people have posted here to say they have tested positive for amphetamines while taking Parnate.

Wow Q, I never took such a high dose of Parnate when I was on it. The most I was ever prescribed was 40 mg. I guess I am surprised that someone would prescribe such a high dose.After I had been on Parnate for a time and after I went back to graduate school, I researched about Parnate for my Psychopharmacology class. It certainly was energizing for me, and when I tried to split the dose and take half at night, I was too wound up.
