Thanks for the informations. Well, I don't want to add something with the Parnate or to augment the dosage. I want to change completely my medication, try something else... something who will not cause so much side-effects...I'm tired of the physical lack of energy that the Parnate give to me...Anyway , thanks again ;-)Bye!
