> I want to write a article for this , im a ten year user of Parnate ,and one thing i notice is this ,parnate has a extremly swift onset of action which makes it good for the SEVERLY depressed ,now HOWEVER
> i noticed myself and from a lot of users that soon after it looses its PEP.Some just go off ,but you have the right idea ,the two ways to make parnate more effective are 1.Slowly raise the dose ,there is a excellent article you can find on the success of high dose parnate 2. Augment it ,i take it you want to augment to kick start it ,well just recently and i read an article that a excellent augment to parnate per trial was the mild stimulant modfanil.I can attest as i use this myself.Of course if its too strong augmenting with klonopin for example would be the opposite.Google the terms high dose parante treatment , and parnate stimulant treatment and bring em to your doc.

> P.S ADHD sronger stimulants can also be used with CARE in small doses they can make parnate ignite in a way.Good luckThanks for your reply, I have used modafinil a lot in the past but it just doesn't do anything anymore. I think it's a wacky medication that you can never trust, but I'm speaking from my own experience. Stimulants make me tired, I get nothing from Concerta and the stimulant effect from tranylcypromine just causes fatigue, interestingly I still get that crash 6-8 hours after the dosing.
I'm losing a little faith in this medication as monotherapy, but I'm going to try 50mg I think if my bp recovers a little. I do take clonazepam 2mg regularly./tensor
