I'm getting the parnate from a reliable source, so don't worry about that. I probably did go up too quickly, and that was my mistake. I didn't double all at once-- I went from 60 to 80 to 100 to 120. I will go to the ER if I have any problems. I understand Parnate is dangerous but I found academic studies published in academic journals where they were using as much as 170mg safely. It just must have a stronger impact on my blood pressure than it did on those subjects'. I think the advise to go back to 60mg is unfortunately probably the smart thing to do. I just hate to think that maybe 140mg or 160mg may have been my magic dose and I never got to try them! The Ritalin is helping, though, as the hypotension has gotten better. I bought a blood pressure cuff and am monitoring my blood pressure which has been fine. I thank everyone for caring-- that means alot to me. I probably shouldn't have posted in the first place and worried everyone-- I was just scared and wondered if the convulsion stuff had ever happened to anyone else.
