I think there is a difference between feeling good and feeling 'high' In my case when I was on Nardil I felt high quite often, but it affected my judgement.... I started gambling on the stock market because I became over confident and actually ended up losing quite a bit of money etc.. this is what worries me about the 'highs' you get from drugs. Parnate did not affect me that much in that way, but I have been working on myself through therapy and meditation over many years, and last year after I went to a meditation retreat,I began to feel high again. Its a very pleasant feeling but looking back, my judgment became distorted, and that is when I decreased the parnate, and it stopped working altogether. I m not sure how to avoid these highs, but I now take 2.5 mg of olanzapine which kick-started the parnate again, and I think it is also keeping my mood more stable. Its very tricky navigating through all this as most of us dont have a psychiatrist who can help, since most of them seem to not know very much about these medications, and the subtleties involved.
