In reply to Parnate - Daytime Sedation - Does it go away?, posted by SLS on August 7, 2009, at 13:26:58
Hi Guys:
My whole big family are all at my house this weekend. I'm taking a moment's breather.
My experience is, (with your help Scott, thanks!), Parnate+Nortriptyline=THE BOMB!!
When I stopped the amytryptyline and started the nortriptyline (on 12 1/2mg) I felt immediately something good was happening!! and I have felt much much better!!!
I have upped the nortriptyline to 25mg and may up it some more. I'll have to see. I am having some "cranky attacks).
I'm on 50mg Parnate, 25mg Nortriptyline and 100-200(trying to get off it) Provigil.
I did have those side effects that were mentioned, they daytime fatigue, the late afternoon knock out etc. Those side effects are going away.
I take 2 Parnate as soon as I get up, the other 3 I spread out over the day but take them before 3:30pm. I take the Nortrip about 6:30 and it helps me sleep.
It all seems to be working out pretty well except I may need a little more Nortrip.Generally speaking, I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!!
Hope that helps.
Gayle
