In reply to weird parnate side effects after one week, posted by missjulie on June 20, 2007, at 15:50:19
missjulie,
I had to go off Parnate because of a rare autohypertensive problem. My blood pressure would spike and I would get a splitting headache even though I hadn't eaten anything or taken any other medications. I never get headaches so this was really weird.It took eight weeks for the daytime somnolence to abate on 80mg of Parnate. Seemed like I had to take a nap every afternoon. Hang in there, it will more than likely go away.
Good Luck,
Jedi> Hey all... thanks for encouragement to stay on Parnate... I most definitely will give it a fair shot... I wrote originally to say I was disillusioned because I thought this was an "energizing" drug... may just be me but not hardly. It's extremely sedating so far.
> The dry mouth and insomnia I knew were coming and will live with... but here's the strange thing... I have to urinate constantly... at least 5 x a night, every ninety minutes on the dot last night. This is really tiresome and I hope it abates. I don't even know where it's all coming from, I don't drink that much liquid! please let me know if this happened to any of you. Other weird Parnate side effect - it apparently cures smoker's cough! I have pretty bad smokers cough which I totally deserve after 20+ years smoking cigarettes :( it is GONE. Wow, that's quite unexpected.
