> After surgery I started back on Parante..back up to 20 mg..but have been so chilled I spend most of my day trying to warm up..pdoc said to decrease to 10 mg. to see if the chills quit, then we would know it was the parnate..will also be geting thyroid checked but have never had problems with levels for 10 years or so (I take 100 mc per day..

> Has anyone experienced chills with Parnate and if so did they subside..I really want to get up to 30 mg to get more benefit..am really concerned I won't be able to continue with Parnate and then it's back to a very bleak drawing board..although he did mention Nardel...I'm guessing your "chills" are related to parnate induced, hypotension. This (hypotension) is THE most common side-effect associated with parnate. It should disappear in a few weeks.
