I'm feeling worse now than when I first went on 60mg Parnate. Specifically, I'm having more of the serotonin-type symptoms, especially crying. I know that the trip to Stanford really made me worse for awhile, but I think I'm stabilizing from that. I also think that the stress of going back to work soon is getting to me. But, I wonder how much of this could be going from such a high dose of Parnate so quickly back to a normal dose. Crying/hopelessness were the number 1 symptoms that the Parnate got rid of, which is why I think that the Parnate is somehow implicated. I never felt any better on any dose over 60mg, so it's not that I'm not on my optimum dose, but maybe my brain got used to a higher dose and now is withdrawing? Is that possible? If so, how long will it last? I'm taking 80mg now. I'm worried about going any lower and risking making this worse. Should I go back up to 100 or 120 or so and see if this gets better? I just hate crying so much and I can't seem to stop. Any advice would be appreciated.
