> That lazy feeling which may or may not be accompanied with "brain fog" early in treatment with Parnate is not so uncommon. It should disappear.
actually, brain fog was a problem prior to treatment. it cleared up a bit at 10mg, and has redeveloped at 20mg, but i have confidence it will pass.
you're right - i should see if i respond before making a decision, and if i'm doing well on the drug, but the insomnia has yet to pass, then that might convince my pdoc to raise the dose. you aren't a soothsayer (though close enough :)).
i just have to keep reminding myself that my previous situation was in no way better than this (albeit less riddled with side effects). one comment (i think it was you who made it?) keeps coming back to me, namely that it's impossible to envision a better situation for myself while depressed. i've just begun to accept living like this (while simultaneously convincing myself that i have every other affliction in the book .. ), but i'm beginning to realise now that depression is indeed a 'disease', or something that's at least beyond my ability to influence through pure will power, so i guess i owe it to myself to at least see what remission feels like. thanks for all your responses.
