> Hummm...I had another very long night (3 1/2 h) of sleep. I had to pop-up some Zopiclone pills to be able to fall asleep. I hate them and the bitter taste in the mouth they leave the day after (well in my case it's the same day...lol) is really bad. If it's suppose to help to sleep, i'm wondering why i'm in front of my Laptop 3 hours later, full awake but with a very nice headache...Anyway, I had nothing else to use since I return the seroquel-xr bottle at the drugstore and i'm not sure if I can use the remeron.

> I have another question for you ParnateStarted2008. Did you have some "libido" problems with the Parnate?. Sorry for the "straight to head" question...but I experience that kind of problems, and i'm wondering if it's normal or not? I remember that only Nardil give me that kind of problem and Paxil also...I will not enter all the details about my libido problem, but that's not very easy to handle...lol ;-)

> Anyway, seem to be another great day, lying in the bed all the afternoon...trying to recuperate a little bit of sleep I dodn't have last night. Snowstorm tonight here so I will probably stay at home and take it easy...for a change...lol

> Change of subject here...I think I will up my dose at 30 mg tomorrow...i'm not suppose but after 6 days at 20mg, I feel ready to do it, I hope everything will be fine...Should I take 20mg in one shoot in the morning and 10mg in the middle of the afeternoon, or I should take the 10mg pill before, like at the 12 PM?... I should ask how many times you leave between your doses ?

> Well, thanks for you answer ;-)You're a really good source of informations as well a nice person ;-)Hi Vincent, how are you, I dont think I answered all your questions.. and If I did they may be scrambeled all over in other messages or not strait foreward so here they are (for this post)
- No I have no libido problems on Parnate. It actually is pro-libido. Nardil also gave me sexuale side effects and Paxil was the worst. Every SSRI/SNRI gave me delayed orgasmia. Paxil was the worst because I had absolutely 0 sex drive, none, zip. when I tried other ssris/snris I was a bit better but still really nervous about my ability so it really sucked. That was the main worst side effect of all the Ad's Ive had. I went back on paxil 2x after my first time and the libido side effects werent 'as' bad but still bad. Wellbutrin was too much! it was pro-libido but tooo much pro, if you know what i mean. I wouldnt have been able to last more then 20 seconds with a girl on Wellbutrin and it was horrible for anxiety , made me much worse. Parnate is pro/neutral, thats why I like it and am giving it a good full trial.
- I take 40mgs around 7am and 30 mgs around 11 am. Both doses make my heart beat fast for about an hour. I find I get a better responce to Parnate if I eat it with food, even tho it says you dont have to. It somehow makes the NE/Epinephrine work like a stimulant better when I take the dose with food. you can try all 30mgs in the morning at once, it "may" help with insomnia. that didnt help me. I would stick dosing before 1200pm if you have insomnia.. that just my opinion. If the drug really starts working (like it has for me) it doest matter when I dose, insomnia is forever the same. I believe tthis will get better with time. ya finding a proper sleep med is hard! with me and you both trying different stuff hopefully we can help each other with sleep..
talk to you later..
