In reply to Full trial of Panate w/ no response?, posted by eric wagner on July 27, 2008, at 17:13:17
Hi Eric..I'm on my second trial of Parnate and this time it is not working anywhere like it did before. The first time I couldn't get to 30 mg due to extreme hypotension, this time I'm at 40 mg and my BP is not too bad. First time within a week I felt a difference, this time a bit of a lift with depression but now I've got constant rumination...I feel I'm barely responding..
I can see how you would be frustrated. I'm beginning to think with MAOI's if you get all the side effects, it's going to work...if you don't, then it's not...I have nothing scientific to back this up...just personal experience.
Nardil was terrible for side effects, but it worked great for depression and social anxiety..one side effect caused me to go off it...
On the other hand 5 weeks on a MAOI is a short time...my first shot at parnate with it working so quickly was unusual I think. I'd give it more time to see if it's going to kick in.
BYW, are you having any side effects?
