So, let me you get this clear:
1) Did you take a non-prescription version of Parnate, one that you purchased on the Internet?
2) Did you take Parnate that expired in 2006?
3) Did you take Parnate within days of stopping the Paxil?
4) And finally, the comforting question: Did you take only one Parnate dose?
Even if you answer "Yes" to questions 1-3 (which it sounds like you will), I think if you also answer "Yes" to question 4, you're probably going to be okay. Perhaps you had serotonin syndrome (a common occurrence when taking an MAOI + SSRI together). Or, perhaps the withdrawal from the Paxil and the taking of Parnate interacted negatively in some way. Or, if the Parnate was bought online and was expired, perhaps there was something in it that didn't agree with your system, but even if that were the case, it seems unlikely that 1 pill could cause lingering effects. That's just my opinion looking at it from afar, and trying to be a voice of comfort. Here's hoping you start feeling better soon.
