> Taking parnate in the morning gives me a quick 30 min speed like effect then the DROP and im weak and tired as u can imagine,shaving is a task.

> Adding caffiene worsens it,adding a benzo aggravtes me to all hell.

> Taking parnate alone will send me into rage spells,so i basicaly live off augmenting it and every combo that i find that does work,which i usualy mention here,poops out after a week,my family says u were up and doing stuff all week now what again?yess again!

> I see my new doc on monday,my old one moved but assured me who she is referring me to comes from a top notch school,is older and very knowledagble she said the person i wanted was not strong enough for me,lol that comment touched me because she took time to make sure that she is sending me to someone she knows might have the knowledagle and experiance to take me on since im not ur average patient any longer.

> Anyway blah blah,my last idea is i read somewhere about certain meds not be taken to early in the am due to something about blood levels.So what i plan to do is take my anxiety meds in the morning and hold out on parnate to late aftrnoon.i have too the morning parnate dose is killing me.

> ED do u know anything about a med might being more effective taken later in the day opposed to early am?

> Also any recomedations or ideas i should speak to this new doc about,im a semi-maniac mood cylcing mess now but no one seems to take notice but me,i dont mean to be concieted but my ocd keeps me working out,and i think since people see me in somewhat gopod shape on the outside its hard for them to take me serious about how bad and messed up i am now on the inside,im loosing my way and im on the frontline with my emotional energy just about on "save me now"
Welcome back Willyee. Sorry you're not doing well. Seeing the new doc is the best thing you could do. And I know you know more about meds/drugs than I do, but my gut feeling is that you need to quit taking the Parnate...I don't know, but somehow your body is either immuned to it or rejecting it at least it sounds that way to me. Have you ever given Nardil a good shot? And of course your interested in the patch-maybe this will be the ticket for you. Also, your new doc may have ideas that are completely new to you. Anyway, I'm sorry you're hurting and hope you get some relief SOON!Tyler
