Hi!
During the last four years I have tried ~25 drugs for my treatment resistant atypical depression and severe social phobia.
Except for benzos which help with anxiety (but leave me unmotivated) none of the medications helped me, altough I tolerated them well.
After reading a lot about MAOIs I had/have? very big hopes that Parnate could be my way out of depression and anxiety.
I take Parnate since 10 days (30mg). I know that's early, but I expected it to give me energy fast.... instead it produces strong day time sedation.
Has anybody else experienced that? Will this side effect likely vanish with time? Maybe when the dosage gets increased over time? Is it ok to take Parnate ~2 hours before bedtime if it makes me soo tired?
In my country it's very hard to get stimulants, and already being on a MAOI does really not make it easier to talk a Pdoc into prescribing eg. Ritalin or even just Modafinil.
Thanks you very much!
