He assumed I was off the imipramine for 2 weeks, but I didn't tell him that I stayed on 50mg. I started the parnate on wednesday, then stopped the imipramine on thursday. I noticed right away I was able to get up in the morning and have motivation to start my day. this is very welcoming! My only problem is I have having intermittent nausea. Vomited a couple of times too. Has anyone had nausea with initial start of parnate? I'm also thinking that the nausea could be from stopping the imipramine at 50mg when I started the parnate

>Hi Colin,
I'm still on Lamictal. I forgot to mention it. I plan to stay on it with the parnate. It does a good job as a stabilizer. I was just sick of the multiple AD's and the side effects of the combination of paxil and imipramine. I'm hoping to get the everything I need out of the parnate. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well with you. What's your current cocktail?
Thanks,
Polarbear
