Hi Scott and everyone
I do respond favourably to amphetaminey thingos, but not especially well, and once I've had them in my system for greater than 3 or so hours I need Valium, alcohol, whatever. Good for Saturday nights and not much else. My hazy recollection of Parnate 25 years ago was that the initial stimulant effect was not so strong or long lived. It could be the deprenyl (2mg yesterday, 1st day of Parnate), but I don't think so. It is probably the SAMe (800mg am) that somehow has already increased the available neurotransmitters and therefore potentiated the Parnate. The moclobemide was like this too. I never took more than 75mg in the morning. If I'd taken 300+mg/d I too would have been in bed, all curled up.
So I dunno. Maybe I'm sensitive to excessive stimulation. Maybe the SAMe has primed me such that I have reacted more strongly to these 2 MAOIs. In any case it makes a lot of sense to keep the dose of any drug to a minimum. I can always increase it later. And I shall tell myself 3 times a day not to be greedy, and not to screw around with the dose. (Thanx Ace and Willy there)
And yes, the effect is good for SA. But like I get stuck. Don't want to go in, can't leave, mostly feeling engulfed with people. Sometimes can't walk down the street. How do you walk *past* people? My vectors must be out of whack...I walk into people, not just people, I walk into dogs. You know when you can't get passed because you both go the same way each time. Well like that sometimes happens to me with dogs.
Will keep you all informed.
Declan
