Elizabeth--Thanks for the good description of Parnate headache. Now at least I know when to worry!
Robin--I have always had low blood pressure and the parnate made it much worse at first as far as dizziness. I haven't ever had headaches like those Elizabeth described, or headaches that I attribute to the parnate in any way.I am on a 40 mg divided dose of parnate; half in the morning and half in the afternoon. I am also taking 45 mg dexedrine, 15 mg visken, and 30 mg temazepam. I was up to 60 mg parnate until adding the visken; then we lowered the parnate dose. Lithium augmentation didn't work--second time I've tried lithium and it is bad news for me.
