Hi There,
New to this type of info sharing but not unfortunately new to depression and it"s associated meds.
After 15yrs of various meds (i am from New Zealand, we don't have access to alot of the meds mentioned on this site) i have been put on Parnate.
Psych Doc prescribed 40mg in the am once daily. I have slowly moved up to the 40mg (3 weeks). I could not take 40 at once because of pounding heart, tight chest, shortness of breath, adrenaline surge, dizziness and feeling of weakness.
I have tried splitting the dose 20 am and 20 lunch time. But after taking lunch time dose I get the same effects which seems to make my mood crash and end up angry/teary and generally confused.
Sleep is the other problem, can't get to or stay asleep with out using Lorazepam. Not sure if sleep problem is because of parnate or just general depression.
Does anyone have any experience with these types of problems on a relatively low dose of parnate?
Also has anybody had good therapeutic effect from parnate at 20 or 30 mgs.
I have been on parnate 5 weeks now, rollercoaster experience beginning to wear a little thin!!
Thanks alot.
