> I have been on Parnate for 16 days. I am on 50mg right now and am experiencing extreme hypotension. I can barely get out of the bed. I am going to decrease my dose and try to move up slower.
That is the most logical course of action. Most people can ultimately tolerate more Parnate if they raise the dosage more gradually.
I am wondering what a fair shot would be to give this medication a chance.
60-80mg for 4 weeks. This means that you have not yet reached a target dosage. So, you cannot count these past 16 days as part of the 4 week trial. Be prepared for heart palpitations at some point. I think this is a passing phenomenon and does not indicate toxicity.
> I am also wondering that if I am experiencing this extreme hypotension now at 50mg does this mean that I can't tolerate this medication at higher doses.
Absolutely not.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
