Well I wish I knew what to say; I started taking it towards the end of April and first noticed the AD effects about two weeks ago, so I would think that you should be feeling something by now.
And I'm also on 60 mgs. Do you supplement with Klonopin or Xanax XR? I'm not saying that that would definitely help, but that's what I've been doing since I started the Parnate and perhaps it's the combination that helps.
It's obviously time for you to re-evaluate the Parnate with your pdoc, if you haven't done so already.
Best-
Malcolm> I just don't think I can take Parnate anymore. It's been 9 weeks now - almost 3 on 60 mgs and I still am skeptical of any antidepressant effect. I'm drinking too much coffee - despite the fact that I haven't touched it for 10 years because of anxiety - but I'm so wasted from the resulting insomnia (ativan is working ok) and daytime fatigue. My dizzy/near fainting spells are periodically returning. I really don't want to "throw the baby out with the bathwater" because I feel like I've just endured 9 weeks of hell, but I think I need to accept that Parnate - the "gold standard" - is just another bust for this treatment-resistant gal. Any thoughts?
