> Well, it's day#2 on 20mg. I take 10mg upon waking, and 10mg at noon. So far I've noticed some slight euphoria, aggression and increase in energy/alertness after each dose, which dissipates after 2-3 hours. Adding caffeine to the mix creates a rather nasty effect. I'm a little disappointed with the stimulant effect - it's too abrasive to help much with concentration.
The stimulant effect of Parnate often subsides substantially with continued treatment.
> In the afternoons, I'm hit by incredible fatigue/apathy and brain fog, and can barely keep my eyes open.
Unfortunately, this is a common complaint. It can be persistent. I have never experienced this with Parnate. Let's hope if resolves. If it doesn't resolve, but Parnate produces a significant improvement in depression, you can use caffeine or methylphenidate to help get you through this period of fatigue.
