Hi Guys:
I'm going into my 6th month of Parnate. I promised my pdoc at least that much time. I had a few weeks of excellent response. I think it's really hard to find the right amount and the timing and the augmentation.
It's such a pain to get off everything else, the washout etc. that I'm going to continue trying to tweak it.
I was tired during the day. The Provigil worked really well but I didn't have much of it. I have just now found a source, so I'm going to do the recommended amount now.
Also, my pdoc recommended I take the Parnate divided, afternoon and evening. That is working MUCH better. But I do get really tired in the late afternoon-evening. I'm going to ask him if I can take all 70mg at night. The nortriptyline still helps me sleep at night, so that's ok. GGG I think Sunbath's idea of taking amytriptyline at night is really good. I slept like a log on it, but it tired me out during the day. I'm really sensitive to "downers" of any sort.
I have been cranky and irritable, too, and that's usually not me. I think it's the other drugs getting out of my system and some feeling coming up. All that seems to be going away now.
I am really going to try to make Parnate work. I still think that it's possible.
I hope you both find it better and better!Best,
Gayle
