That sounds a lot like what happened to me when I first started Parnate. In the beginning it made my depression much worse to the point where I felt suicidal, so I kept raising the dose until I felt the stimulant effect, and from then on it was much better. In the end I was taking 80-120mg a day, but my psychiatrist didn't approve of this and took me off it. For the short time I took Parnate it was one of the most effective ADs I've ever tried. I can only advise you stick it out a little longer or try raising the dose further (if you can tolerate it and your pdoc agrees).
The weakness might be related to hypotension - it's common at the beginning of treatment with MAOIs. Have you checked your blood pressure?
