> my main complaint is rebound anxiety, because I originally took meds - ie nardil because of an anxiety breakdown, and that is what reappears whenever the meds poop out. ie it is my base state, which is rather worrying because it means that I can never be without some kind of anxiety med.
I must say that anxiety has never been one of my main complaints, although it is there to a degree. Agitation around the inescapability of the boredom and dissatisfaction I feel is really more common. The main symptoms are the loss of motivation and ability to enjoy things. When these symptoms lift, I find that the rest of the symptoms tend to lift too. In regards to anxiety this tends to look like my motivation to do things becoming greater than the anxiety I feel around doing them. Once I gain momentum, the anxiety subsides more and more.
As far as updates on the 50mg Parnate dosage, it has only been about a week now. There may have been a modest improvement, however it has still been unstable so far. It's likely still too early to tell. There has definitely been an increase / return of side effects, which is in some way reassuring, in that at least *something* is happening. One notable difference is that the afternoon fatigue, which would come and go, which first appeared when the Parnate stopped working, has returned and stayed. Every afternoon I find myself need an hour or two of sleep, usually around 3PM.
If no further degree of improvement develops, I will carry on to 60mg.
