It is a personal theory of mind that the "fight or flight" things that you are currently experiencing *could* be signs of an imminent therapeutic response to treatment. It might be a good sign. The question becomes: Is it a matter of time or a matter of dosage? Maybe you will respond very soon to your current dosage of Parnate. However, you might need to increase the dosage to pass through this period of what I call an exaggerated dysautonomia.

Ho, that's funny Scott, you point the "dream" factor...Since the REM sleep stage is suppose to be "deleted"...When I go back to 30mg, after 1 week at 40mg, I begin to dream again...I stop the Parnate for 3 days and I had TONS of crazy and vivid dreams from these 3 nights...more than usual...and I search on wikipedia some informations about that...and I also conclude that my dosage of Parnate was probably connected to the fact that I start to dream again...so it's probably a sign that my dosage of Parnate was too low at 30mg... I also always get some improve on a drug only when it supress the REM sleep stage... that's weird and complex at the same time...I remember that when I try drugs like Remeron or some SSRI's as well, I had a lot more vivid dreams...and also I never improve on that kind of drugs...so maybe it's related...
Very interresting...You should be a Doctor...especially in the research field !!! lol ;-)
Anyway, another good point for you here...!!!
Thanks again! ;-)
