Hi Gayle,
Parnate HAS kicked in. I started at 40mg/day, then 50, 60, 70, 80, now 100mg/day. I waited at each dose increase 4-6 weeks to wait and feel the full responce of each increment increase. As for most the first 2-3 days of each dose increase gave increadable remission on my anxiety, then would leave.
After my first couple weeks at 50 the antidepressant effect felt very good and still does at 100mg. Im not using it for depression but as a last resort for social Phobia. it has given me wonderful days but is never constant for the anxiety. im looking for the right augmentor or high dose. (ive tried quite a few already with not much success)
At 60 mg my emotions have been overstimulated (in a good way). The antidepressant effect has never left or pooped out. Motivation and all the human emotions one 'should' feel when not depressed I have an abundance of (joy, love, anger, sadness, surprise, fear). I know I am making this sound wonderful but remember Im not taking this for depression so maybe that is why I feel the AD effect so strongly. It took me a month or 2 to be able to control and handel the profound emotions I now feel. I could just cry all the time from happy moments or the love I have for a song or person. Sounds amazing hey! well not so much for me as I already had enough of the other feelings, I need more Anxiolytic effect big time. Im seeing my new pdoc on thursday to see what we can do for augmentation or something for the anxiety. Parnate has not made the anxiety worse.
I have been on it now for 10 months.
I havent give up on it yet because it has given me the least amount of bad side effects then anything else Ive tried. Once in a while something makes the anxiolytic effect kick in, and its this glimmer of hope that keeps me with it.
Hope this helps.
ummm.. off topic but ya my Phobia has kept me in my room for the last 2 days so it really sucks but I can enjoy movies...
