> > The other thing, of course, is to try taking the Parnate way up to 120mg or higher. It can act like a different drugs at these dosages. Some study that I read 10 years ago suggested that high dose Parnate downregulated 5-HT2 serotonin receptors, something not seen at lower dosages. It was an animal study. (Sacraficing and decapitating humans was still frowned upon in those days).
> In what way does Parnate act like a different drug at higher doses?It seemed to have a remarkable effect to reverse some of the depression-induced cognitive and memory impairments. It didn't do so much for mood, but I do remember getting more things done around the house. I am not the best example because of how refractory I am to treatment. However, King Vultan has described quite a few times recently how the character of Parnate changes at higher dosages as he experiences it. He would be the best person to ask. I think he is doing well on it.
> By the way, there are STILL some people who frown upon sacrificing and decapitating humans. It's amazing how uptight and prissy some people can be.I know. Things went down hill after the emergence of political correctness.
Be well.
