In what ways does Parnate make you feel worse?
Try not to self-medicate out of desperation. After having said that, my next question is whether or not you have Zyprexa on hand. I don't think you did the wrong thing with the Klonopin or Neurontin. Just be careful.
Hang in there...

All i do is self medicate,maybe im the only one but the five min med check once a month is not enough time for my doc to monitor and instruct me on how to take 2-3 meds.
Im am causing my parents tremondous pain tonight,prob as much as they can feel next to mine.
I just took 20 mg more of parnate,if i dident,and if it dont work this will be a long
ugly night.Im starting to loath this fuckiing pill,but i have to take it.Now there is fear in my stomach like never before.Oddest thing in the entire world i cant find a single person on my list to chat,this NEVER happened.

I have found myself in this position numerous times, and I have self-medicated. You are not alone. Just try to be more deliberative and less impulsive when it comes to swallowing pills. Maybe you can be smarter than I've been.
I don't think you should expect relief immediately from anything you do for yourself. Probably the best thing you can do right now is to distract yourself and go to bed. It is possible that taking Parnate so late in the day will prevent you from sleeping, but you should give it a try.
What other medications do you have to work with?
Call your doctor if you are in doubt as to what to do next. Let him earn his money. If he can't afford to spend the time necessary to treat you properly while you are there, perhaps he'll reconsider whether or not he can afford to attend to a series of phone calls between appointments.
> Im am causing my parents tremondous pain tonight,prob as much as they can feel next to mine.
Maybe you can just thank them for being good parents and supporting you through your struggles. You don't deserve to have life so hard.

> ugly night.What are you supposed to be doing with Parnate? Are you taking more than prescribed? You should know by now that it takes weeks for the brain to change its function when exposed to these drugs.

Well this night is almost over with, im sorry i didnt post. I have night of fear, days of unstableness i cant describe.
I take Zyprexa 2.5mg and Klonopin 6mg, this is over a year of therpy for severe anxiety, and klonopin really makes you depressed.
If i had a medical kit, i would come and give you "Lorazepam" thats the most common medication that used in hospitals for agitiation, nursing homes my grandma takes 2mg when she gets crazy.
Sometimes i know i want to just get away. Ciggarettes, no they make me feel even worse especially if im having vertigo. Either ask my doctor for a prescribtion for Thorazine, and Xanax.
Parnate i dont know about, i know that i have heard its stimulating then it has BAD side effects. Please dont take more.
Pray to God, he knows how to calm a storm in your body. Just Advice.
You hang on.

Im 26 now,first med at 18,effexoer.Went through my entire 20`s with diffrent docs on every ssri/tca/ dose combo,every one.I was at the point of repeating meds again just for the hell of it at a different dose,i was in a horrable state.
I requested parnate about 4 yrs ago,got immediate relieaf.Since then the drug alone is useless for me but i makes sexondary drugs work.
I.E Went a day of high dose neurotion/klonopin,next would be parnate dose to kinda PUT BACK my active braib,in the same way one day of parnate and i border maniac,and use klono.
Sounds like a simple sedative/stim combo would help but it has not been simple at all.I feel like a BIG junkie with all these pills,even with them i dont do half the things i watch others do,its gotten really bad.

Imiprimine.....worsened my depression,just more slower and not as intensly as the ssris did,but i definatly felt worse.
Amitrpyline ive used recently at night for sleep,sometimes its a pleaseant sedative effect,but no noticable long term effect that would have me use it.
Thats about it! Like i noted i want,need time.I will be ok with lowering my parnate almost to non existant 10-20 mg a day and adding a tca like noratrip or something,but im not ready to go through the horrid horrid horrid W/D i personaly do of parnate for a medacore med.I will do so for only a med with enormous potential.
Reason being if i did it,by the time i can fully take on a TCA as primary,my stomach would be so sick,my sleep so nightmared riddened,id be such a shaky mess from W/D that no tca or any med will be strong enough to help.
I need either a very good med,strong to switch too,possably a NEW AD all togther,or gradualy switched such as lowering parnate as a tca is introduced and slowly withdrawing from parnate.
I cant not for example go on a two week parnate cut on no meds,i will die,
