What im noticing is this,i wake at 6...7 am,i take a fairly healthy dose of parnate,along with a sedative.
Im ok at this point,not where i wanna be,but im ok with the response and im functinal.
I take the same dose,meaning a second dose at around 3pm.Now sometimes i fall asleep for no more than 45 min at times,or even not,BUT what happens is around 7....8 pm i dont feel any more therputic effect.
At this point ive taken two doses of parnate,so i cant take anymore,the only thing i have a abudance of to use at this point are sedatives,benzo/mood stablizer.
I dont want this,parnate is wearing off at this point and i feel i need a last nudge as i feel depression,possably worsened by parnates leaving my system,nevertheless im craving at this point a stimulant lift,not a strong strong one,but i am up until midnight,so i have from 7 pm to midnight to deal with the cloud of depression begin to rear.
I tried lowering parnate so i can stretch it out to this time,but i need to take the exact dose i am,and im already in whole taking what is considered a large amount of parnate so asking for more isnt gonna work,
I dont know of any other mood lifts,i tried and have used caffiene but that just gives me more of a energy kick opposed to a mental stimulant effect lift like the parnate doses.
I dont know what to do,from the 7 pm period until i got to bed i no longer feel any benifit from the parnate doses,and all i have to use are sedatives which i obviosuly dont want at this point.
I thought about over the counter mild stimulants but i have found none of them to really be worth much.
I just wish they made parnate into different doses,considering people are different,10 mg might be great for a person using 40 mg a day,maybe a smaller person,but im not a small guy,and if they just made say a 50 mg tablet than three tables a day would be solving the problem im speaking of now,as it would be enough dose wise,
ALSO THREE TABLES A DAY WOULD SOUND AS BAD AS 10 PILLS,PEOPLE LOOK AT ME IN THE PHARMACY BUT I MEAN THE TABLETS ARE 10 MG,AND I KNOW SOME PILLS RUN DIFFERENTLY LIKE BENZOS,BUT I DONT BELIEVE HAVING PARNATE IN DOSES OF 50 MG ALONG WIT A 10 AS AN OPTION WOULD BE BAD.ugghh

Hey Will,
I don't guess you got any kick from that other Parnate, huh? Bumma : (
