> Just a word of encouragement. My first day on Parnate 5mg did not feel good either. I could feel it kick in, and when it did I felt dysphoric and more depressed sort-of. I definitely didn't feel better, and definitely felt in some indescribable way worse than before I took it. For some reason, Adderall makes me depressed. Parnate felt kind of like that a little bit.
>thanks; i had a really similar experience to yours. yesterday morning i felt really despondent, until around 6pm, when i suddenly came to life and began engaging in some bygone leisure activities. i even forced myself too read, which i really have the wherewithal to attempt these days. my concentration wasn't all that much improved, but it was like i had more vigor to force myself through things.
today's been similar - well the bad part anyway; i feel really teary and introverted.
i hope i don't sound too negative; it just feels therapeutic to document my experience, which hopefully can assist others trialling the drug. from all the reports i'd read, i thought i'd feel an instant 'up', but it definitely seems like the stimulant effect doesn't agree with me. i think i'm going to be more aggressive with the dosing and move up to 20mg tomorrow, or thursday. no point dallying around.
