I don't know what to say for sure. Sometimes it takes longer to work. Years ago it took at least a month or more to really start working for me. I took Mellaril at night for sleep, not something advisable anymore. Now I have a low dose of Seroquel if I need it for sleep. I am now at 40 mg., and I don't want to go higher. I think my therapy with my new therapist will help more than increasing the Parnate. I have not found any other antidepressant that works, and against my better judgment I did ECT. It helped me be less depressed before I quit doing it because of noting bad side effects and memory problems. I paid a price for doing ECT, and so I am not happy about that. Try giving the Parnate more time. Maybe you are on too much, and you were not given enough time to see if it would start to work at a lower dose. I would wonder. Doctors like to up things after a couple of weeks, and then up them again after another few weeks, etc. Maybe it is time to see if it will work by not continuing to up it?????
