> This is a tiny bit technical.ok some meds have there metabolites made into a med themselves.Its been argued that parnates metabolite is that close to a amphetamine,which makes sense since a metabolite shows up when the drug is leaving hence the insomia.Also however with the insomnia i notice my mood does actualy improve,just to damn late for any of this.

> So to make this short,i i looked and looked,could not find any hard info on what the parnate metabolite is,only that parnate holds a 2.5 half life,my thinking is can we look at using the metabolite as a med as other drugs have done since we see how it acts so strongly.

> Hope this makes sense thanks.Yes I noticed a ritalin like feeling after each parnate dose.This feeling lasted a couple of hours and was actually quite nice.
I was on parnate for eight weeks and had brought up the dose to 60 mg. After each dose increase I felt well for a few days and that would subside.I went up to 60 mg and was on that for maybe 10 days to two weeks. After that I stopped because my p-doc and I had decided on 60 mg as a top dose.
I think aborting my trial may have been premature.I may retry the med. Maybe add nortriptyline. also possibly go higher than 60 mg.also once I get to a therapeutic range stay at least three weeks at that range before I move up.
