Re: parnate and fatigue

In reply to parnate and fatigue, posted by Anne on July 20, 1999, at 18:31:45

Hi Anne,

I had terrible fatigue with Parnate, which I found very confusing too since
I read it usually had an energizing effect. My fatigue did lessen over time (8 wks)
and at a very high dose (80mg), but then I got toxic and had to discontinue it. When I
restarted it at a lower dose (30mg), it made me a little hyper, but then later in the day
I'd crash. The roller-coaster effect (which I get with any amphetamine-like drug). So finally
I just gave up.

You might want to ask your pdoc about adding a little Wellbutrin to Parnate. It's a risky combo,
but if you do it slowly, monitor your BP and side effects, etc., it might help. In my experience,
Wellbutrin is the only "energizing" med that doesn't have that roller-coaster effect for me, tho it
does cause insomnia. Just a suggestion :-)

good luck,
anita
