> I was on Parnate, successfully for over 20 years. About a month ago, I had an apparent hypertensive crisis, after eating in a restaurant. I kind of decided on the spur of the moment to try a new med. (I was also having low blood pressure on Parnate) A psychiatrist prescribed Remeron. I was off Parnate for 15 days, then started remerom (15-30-45 milligrams) two weeks ago. Still I have continued to be very depressed and perhaps the worst depression since I started Parnate.
In my experience Remeron is`not too bad....lots of good reports on it...usually a bit off weight gain and significant sedation.
If you changed your mind about Parnate, I am pretty sure you could use the two agents together.
> I have a question about how long I would have to stop Remeron before starting Parnate again.I w`ould start instantly, or use together. I had NO problems with Nardil/Remeron.
I can't see any mechanism where their would be any substainal problemsAccording to Wikipedia there is no documentation about dangerous Parnate/Remeron interactions, but it is difficult to find reliable information. Since the Physicians tend to be conservative, probably my Pdoc will suggest two weeks, but I would like to have more information about this.
I hope the above helps...also be good to see some other opinions on this. Really hope things pick up ASAP
