Hi everyone,
Since yesterday, i'm taking 20mg/day of Parnate and I have a "lot" of side-effects.First, with my own blood pressure machine, I notice that my pressure is not constant at all. My pulse is very low (40-50), normally it's up than 80 and my blood pressure is sometimes very low 100/50 and sometimes high 150/90. If I have to climbe the stairs, I begin to feel weird, having dizziness and I ending it with a panic attack. I also feel VERY tired, not when I take my pill, but often more after 2 or 3 hours. I feel like I will pass out or do a heart attack, I have arm numbless also, especially the left one, dry eyes (they burns in fact), and the list go on. And Strangely, contrary to some people on the Parnate on this board, I don't have more insomnia, I can sleep, even if it's in the middle of the afternoon...(I already have insomnia problem before at night, I wake up frequently and I can't fall asleep again).
It's seem that even if I watch what I eat or not, my pressure vary more on the Parnate than the Nardil.
20mg of Parnate is equal to how many mg of Nardil? Cause I begin to have pressure problems on the Nardil at 90mg only...
Is it possible that all is in my head??? Can i imagine all of this and make my blood pressure test distorted? Is it possible that my general anxiety make me feel worse than I am really?
I know that 20mg of Parnate is a very low dosage, probably not effective at this stage...So i'm wondering if it's just the anxiety or it's really my blood pressure that causing all these side effects?
Another question. Is it possible that the "COFFEE" make me feel like this? I drink 2 cups in the morning and 1 in the afternoon...
What is the best hours to take my pills, did I take the 20mg in the morning in one shoot, or I devide it in two shoots, one at 7-8 AM and another one before 3 PM?
Anyway's thanks in advance for all the answers I will have in regards to this message. I know, I can seem to be on the panic button...but that's not the case, I just feel really WEIRD and I have some side effects that make me feel more anxious, especially about my "heart"...the pressure and everything. I'm already in a "so so" physical shape, I smooke a lot, I don't eat well and I don't exercise, so that's easy to understand that i'm a lot concern about the blood pressure and everythings else...
