> I'm at 10 weeks of Parnate, 3 days at 60mg.
Try to stick with it. Caffeine helps. Eventually, this side effect will pass. I used caffeine pills just like any other drug. Use as little as will produce the desired effect so as not to grow tolerant of stimulation. 100-200mg taken in late morning is all I usually need to get a kick that lasts the whole day.
See if Robert Post, MD still has a private practice in Chevy Chase. Also, I would highly recommend Kay Redfield Jameson, MD, PhD. at Johns Hopkins University. Even if these people are unable to take you on as a patient, I am sure they will direct you to ones that will. Impress upon them your desire to combine Parnate with nortriptyline or desipramine. That should be the "litmus test" for finding a doctor.
