> Actually, Parnate has been great. And I think it is because of how it effects dopamine as you were saying. All the seratonin and norepinephrine only antidepressants did nothing for me and i have tried 16 other antidepressants not counting Parnate. However, about 2 hours after my second dose (so around about 4pm) i feel horrible! and this horrible feeling lasts for about 8 hours. All i want to do is lay down (i cant sleep though), I feel dizzy, and generally sick.

>Cymbalta is the only thing coming to Australia, I don't know how long it's going to take however. How much Parnate are you taking? Perhaps you could split the afternoon doseage.
