What I'm doing now is staying at a stable dose just below the normal therapeutic dose. If my body was going to freak out, it would have done it during the increases. I'm still going to monitor it just the same as I have been doing, but the risk that after having perfect BP and temp during all the increases that my body is suddenly going to go into serotonin syndrome or hyperthermia is very small. I'm not increasing any more. Telling my doctor is not an option. She would freak out and take away my Parnate, which is literally keeping me alive. Plus, telling her makes her liable for what happens to me, which is a position that she obviously prefers not to be in since she refused to do this under her care. Everyone can stop worrying-- I'm fine. I'm just more depressed, which sucks but I'll wait it out and see how it all falls out once my brain adjusts to the new chemicals.
