9/29 I started 10mgs Parnate for 1 week, 20mgs second week. I felt OK in the morning but by the evening I was a wreck. My mood has never been so unstable before. Pdoc said take another 10mgs at 2pm. That's when the insomnia really kicked in. Now I take Ambien every night. 10mgs doesn't work but 20 make me hallucinate. So 15mgs it is. I get headaches several times throughout the day and still feel crappy in the evening. I'm very sensitive to foods on the restriction list. Most of my research said newer studies showed low levels in tyramine in certain things so I've been trying them. No crisis yet buy my bp does go up and I get another headache. Things like bananas, peanut butter, Campbell's soup (msg?). Even the tiniest bit of tytamine makes me feel yucky.
I'm really disappointed. I hoped Parnate would be the best option for me and I think I may have made a poor decision and made my life more difficult. I'm really losing hope and just want to feel better.
It's been a month. How long was it before you started feeling better? Any success stories?
