Willyee,
Any suggestions on avoiding the afternoon slump I see so much about, and experience myself?
Any about insomnia?
Thanks,
Diane> Ok i see a lot of new people starting parnate and a lot of questions about various aspects.
>
> I have been on the drug i dunno least 5 years,in this time i have myself tested theories as well as spoke to,read on,and everything else u can on a single drug,contacted company for info etc.

> The data sheets are showing to be way off,and its very common it seems to go well over the 60 mg range,a more common dose for a veteran user seems to be in the 80-120 mg range,with certain people commonly going even over 120.

> I see talk about taking a larger dose at a single time opposed to spread out.

> Heres the jift,one hand ur totaly right,smallers doses can seem to worsen depression and anxiety,However after a initial LARGE single dose,smaller doses such as 10-20 mg from that point on in the day seem much more effective,almost sedating.

> So there is a big differeace to smaller doses after a Initial large dose,i personaly cant tolerate small doses through the day as i have tried,however i ended up needing that large single morning dose,for me its 40-50 mg mixed with a caffiene tab.

> NOW HERES THE KICKER....PLS HEAD THIS WARNING:

> Parnate is most dangerous after a large dose,its crucial that the dose although large,is in ur therputic range.Dont try to go higher,stay with taking the dose THEN AFTER using smaller 20 mg doses.

> Listening to so called pub med data and taking a single dose i KNEW WAS TOO MUCH FOR MY BODY....I.E 60 MG lead me to be very maoi sensative to the dangers and landed in ER over cheese.
>
> That single tab of 60 over 50 made a world of differance.I came to a 50 mg dose of being my largest by knowing the med,listening to its effect on my body,and being very cautious,and as ii said i will juggle between that and 40 as being my highest.
>
> Now i know people who easly go higher i a single dose,which is fine.Just make sure its because u feel safe doing this.Also if u just starting to use the HIGHEST DOSE METHOD id begin slow because again this is when parnate can BITE U IN THE *SS HARD,I PROMISE U IT CAN,after u will feel a neck pain,then a tightened chest,a headache,and all u need then is a spark,the wrong food,med, etc and it will be ER TIME.
>
> Last remember parnate poteniates sedatives,so a benzo like klonopin can seem more potent inn it s negative effects while on parnate,so u might want to start low as well.
>
>
> Good luck,lets keep the info alive on this drug cause the company sure cant.
>
>
> P.S Last but def not least,parnate does seem to hold for some as in my case definiate addiction potenial.
>
> Hope this helps.
