Gretchen,
I hope this finds you feeling better. The Parnate/Lamictal combo was a bit too activating for me. Otherwise there were no side effects. One question - do you or your physician monitor your blood pressure at all when taking an MAOI such as Parante? When I first took an MAOI over twenty years ago my pDoc monitored my BP himself every visit. I never had another doc do that since and I haven't been up front enough to confront them about it. My current doc admonishes me to monitor my own. When I'm hypotensive I add water and salt and sometimes have to avoid driving. When on an MAOI and experiencing a headache checking blood pressure should be a number one priority to rule out hypertension as the cause. Please take care of yourself!
