Hi Peanut,
No worries about scaring anyone, and I'm glad you posted--why go through any of this alone? Thanks for trusting enough to post.
>the convulsion stuff before, because it scared me. I didn't faint at all, it was just a few seconds of jerky muscle movements. I'm just mad because I bumped my head hard and sprained my ankle when I fell.
I went to the walk-in doc this year for what sounds like something similar and wad relieved to find out I had fainted. The doc was really nice--no one likes to lose control she told me, even for a second. I had found myself on my back, moving around....
> As for what I'm going to do, I suppose I will have to go back to 60mg. I'm afraid
to skip a day as Scott suggested as the last time I went 20 hours without a dose I ended up crying hysterically. I do have some benzos on hand if the transition is
less than smooth. I don't have much
hypotension anymore on 60mg, so I
won't need the Ritalin (I'm immune to the mood effects of RItalin anymore anyway). Parnate does work for me with partial improvement at 60mg, so I guess
I'll just have to be happy with that. It's just too bad I'll never know if the higherdoses might have meant more improvement.I don't see why you can't try 80 if 60 doesn't work. People here talk about finding their 'sweet spot'. Maybe the process needs more time. Some have taken months w/ progressive improvement to lead them on. Don't
despair--you're just working on your dose.
