My Psy-doc wants me to increase the parnate up to 80mgs, but I would rather wait and see how this augmenting goes first. As soon as I get a response, good, bad, or neutral I will post it for you.

Anthony - Thanks.Did you experience any sort of improvement during the first three days after starting adrafinil? Do you feel that it is helping you at all at this point? How long have you been taking it?
What sort of information did you present your doctor with that allowed him to be comfortable with the combination? I may be headed in the same direction as you. Good luck. If you are not already aware, Parnate has been used at dosages higher than 120mg a day for treatment-resistance cases. You can find some reference to this in Dr. Bob's tips. Some people have taken more than 200mg/day. I don't know what guidelines are followed to titrate to such high dosages.
It was a bad weekend.
Thanks again, Anthony.
