Sudden dizziness on Parnate?

Posted by Malcolm664 on May 28, 2007, at 6:14:30

Hi: I've been on Parnate since the end of April and just yesterday, I've noticed that I've gotten
suddently very dizzy. I literally fell to the floor about four times last night while going to the bathroom. I'm on 60 mgs.

Not to mention the fact that I went rowing (skulling) yesterday and my motor coordination was pretty bad; it was almost as if I was learning to row for the first time all over again.

I'm pretty sure that it's the Parnate (although I'm also on Xanax XR 1 mg and Klonopin 75 mgs daily but I really doubt that they could be those meds which are causing the sudden dizziness).

My immediate feelings are that FINALLY I'm having some reaction to the Parnate, even if it's not the reaction I was hoping for.

Also, I went to a public park on Saturday and was strangely relaxed.

But the dizziness is obviously a concern, b/c I start a week-long internship as a personal trainer at an upscale gym on June 11th and if I'm hoping that they hire me at the end of it, I can't be falling all over the place.

I do remember having a similar reaction when I was on Nardil a year ago and it kicked in, except I don't remember actually falling down several times (I just remember feeling hyper-relaxed);

The feeling I'm having on Parnate so far is not quite as wonderful as the Nardil, but then it looks like the med is just beginning to kick in, so does this mean that the Parnate is finally working?

Or is it a serious reaction that I should alert my doctor about? Again, I can't imagine what else could be causing it.

And according to the google search I did, Parnate does cause dizziness, but none of them say whether it's an immediate reaction or something that happens only when the med has built up in your system.

Any ideas?
