30mg Parnate not as good as 20mg? :( Advice plssss

Posted by AdamCanada2 on March 5, 2009, at 19:13:31

My symptoms: Severe Treatment Resistant Depression with Melancholonia. Social Anxiety, low mood/drive/motivation/enjoyment/productivity/energy/Burning head pains.

On Parnate + Ritalin + valium all of it is reduced but much still remains expecially at 30mg. I been on 30mg for 6 days now. Before that I was on 25mg for 7 days or more and prior to that 20mg for a while. Sleep is easier, 25mg Seroquel helps at bed time. Initially 30mg Parnate gave me some daytime sedation (prior to taking any Seroquel) and I felt like napping during the day. But also noticed 2nd day of 30g darker vision, lower mood, less social, quite less sex drive, mind is much less active! A lot of what kept me up during 10-20-25mg Parnate was that my mind would have flowing thoughts consistently throughout the day and night and therefor incredibly difficult to sleep. But I dont feel that and you know what? I miss that kind of feeling. I feel cloudy headed. It is harder to concentrate. More difficult to think and even the ritalin 5mg 3-4 times a day has less of an effect than it used to.

Is this how it normally should be? Plus I get a lot of dizziness at times if I stand up too suddenly from say a kneeling position (reaching for shampoo etc).

Perhaps around 20mg Parnate is the magic number for me but it was by no means anything near remission. Also normally when I raise my parnate dose I get a sudden strong lift in mood that subsides the next day. I never felt that when I moved up to 30mg.

Pls offer any advice because I am willing to keep trying on this 30mg and see how it goes but it is really compromising my ability to make plans with individuals and I am finding myself cancelling this, cancelling that, the one good thing is that it's easier to sleep.
