> I think what you're doing is extremely dangerous. Parnate is a serious and dangerous drug with serious and dangerous side effects and interactions. 120mg is way above the therapeutic dose. Why do you think you need to go that high?? If you're not having a response to 60mg, maybe parnate isn't the drug for you and you should talk frankly with your pdoc about trying something else. Also, if your pdoc prescriped 60mg/day, where are you getting the rest of the parnate from? If not from a real pharmacy, you don't even know what you're taking.
Whoa hold on,first yess parnate is very dangerous,but so are most of these drugs,i remeber seeing a picture of a 14 year old foster child in a hospital on her death bed due to SERZONE destroying her liver to shreds.
As i looked in her innocent face tied to wires on christmas eve,i thought,she trusted the industry to help her,and what did she get from it?That pic still brings me near tears.
Moving on 60 mg might be the official dose on data sheets,however so was 30 mg at one time,have saved both,obviusly that was increased.
What we do have now are offical and published doucments stating therputic dose of some must end up being from the 60 to 125 range,and in fact some who never reach this and discontine never gave the drug a fair chance.
I use over 100,and carefully done,it is the perfect dose for me,ive used this dose 5 years now.
What we have here was obviously a person very anxious and nervous about the drug,hence the various posts on on sorts of augments and such.So its not surpising she would titrate up too fast,if u read her posts u can see this was possable and personaly as a parnate user was too late to intervine which i wanted to.
Last she never said her pharmacy was illegit,many people use non u.s based pharmacy,i.e canadian due to lower prices and they get pharm quality name brand parnate from glaxco smith.
As much as a person should take from this the mistake on using parnate can happen,they also should not believe that the intentioned dose was the problem,but rather the way it was done.
There are quite a few official studys showing in some they never reached remission until the dose went over a 100,also i personaly called and spoke to a chemist at glaxco numerous times,and i dont know if it was more sad or funny to the lack of knowledge they have on their drug.
After 3 times i gave up on them,and the reason they dont know much about it is because as if posted they purchased the med from a sole chemist,rather then actualy syhntezied the med themselves at its origin.
