Hi Scott: I think it's been Parnate Withdrawal!
Wow, I feel so much better today I can't believe it! I slept all night and woke up at 7:30am feeling pretty darn good except I am itching all over my whole body, especially my shoulders and head.
Your telling me my sleep is fine took a big load off my mind...Thanks!!
I think going down 20mg Parnate and 15mg nortrip (over half of my dose) all at once was just too much for my body (liver?).
I'm less "spacy", more clear headed and probably (though I hate to admit it) less likely to fall.
I have to carry my 17year old ShiTzu (bad back) down and up the back steps all the time and Colorado is still having that blizzard, so that's a challenge for both of us!
At this point I think maybe 60mg parnate is a good therapeutic dose for me. Maybe my pdoc saw more than he said at our appt.
I'm kind of shocked that coming down put me in such a tailspin. I did not expect that.
Thanks once again for all the support and information!! I don't know what I would do without you and the other PBers who have helped me so much getting on and sticking with Parnate, which has helped me more than any other drug I've ever taken!! I seem so med sensitive. Maybe it is my age and all those years of self medicating with scotch/dexedrine!
I think after the holidays are over I'll do some kind of liver cleanse.
I hope you are doing OK Scott. You're so giving, knowledgeable and such a good role model for keeping on keeping on. You really deserve a break soon with your meds!Thanks so much,
Hugs,'
Gayle
