> Gosh I am surprised to hear you are on 60 mg. after just two weeks. When I started Parnate, I started at 20 mg. and up to 30 mg. after almost a week and then up to 40 mg. I had the same problem with being so tired in the middle of the day, I thought I was not going to be able to do my job. That eventually went away and after I devised a schedule that seemed to fit for me like dividing the does to part in the morning and part in the early evening.
>I was started on 30mg, but the sleepiness was even worse, when the level was upped to 60 some of the sleepiness abated and I actually felt better, but it's still very difficult to tolerate but the difference is napping a couple times / day as opposed to sleeping all day long. I even tried 90mg, but at that dose the sleepiness got worse instead of better so the optimal starting dose for me seems to be around 60mg.
> RE orgasms; well I am a female, but it does seem harder. I would ask the pdoc about this. Out of curiosity, why were you put on so high a dose so fast? I am thinking the orgasm problem will get better as the sleepiness gets better too. I think it took me at least a month and maybe longer to get past the wish to take a nap in the middle of the day. It can take a month or longer for the body to get used to the medication.

The orgasm thing is just insane I've never experienced anything like this before. I mean my super trooper of a wife and I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing does it. I'm like a superhero now Anorgasmia Man or something.
