Well, I lowered my dose of Parnate to 60mg on Wednesday th 25th. I've been getting more and more depressed by the day until it seemed intolerable yesterday when I spent most of the day under my covers sobbing and talking to my sister (she's not depressed - how she can take it I don't know!). I decided that tomorrow (Monday) a.m. I would call my pdoc and insist on going back to 80mg.
Then this morning I woke up after a long, uninterrupted sleep, feeling better than I have for a weeks.
This crazy Parnate! Now I'm thinking I'll just stay at 60mg for a while longer.
Maybe less will be better all the way around.
If I can get through this season in decent shape I will be delighted.
Thanks for you comments and support everybody!
Hugs,
Gayle
