In reply to Parnate: dosing at night to avoid fatigue, posted by stevezen on March 21, 2007, at 17:29:36
> hey there everyone! first post here and was just wondering...
> I started taking parnate a little over a week ago. I have been finding that dosing first thing when I wake (10mg) augmenting with another 10mg several hours later, is leaving me utterly fatigued and is actually compounding my depression further still.
> it is just the first week though, and I'm determined to give this a good go. would taking my dose in one go (20mgs) at night just before bed be a temporary solution until my body get's used to parnate?
> I've read many times that parnate is supposed to be stimulating, but it seems to have the opposite effect on me.
> I already tried for several nights in a row taking 10mg's just before bed, and 10mg's just as I wake. this has offset the symtoms somewhat, but I'd like to know if taking 20mgs just before bedtime would basically defeat the purpose of taking parnate in the first place.
> anyone any thoughts on this?
> many thanksDont do it,sounds somewhat logical i know,but it just doesent work that way,you take it at night expect to be up.
When my depression was or is at its worst,i get a very sick feeling in my stomach,like my gut sinks in cause im always the last one up,so i take at times parnate at this time,now it keeps me up till at least 3 am or later but when i do it which is seldom i usualy dont care because the trade off of feeling better at night and staying up over laying awake ine bed sick as a dog works for the drug.
But i tried what u speak of too,and like one would think when parnate is activating simply take klonopin would make it a great combo,this isnt always so either,these drugs dont like to follow logic the little b----s lol.
