Oh that is right, I said I experineced no side effects but the tiredness is one that happened to me. This is what happened to me. At first when I went on it I wolud feel so tired I could go to bed and sleep. Well that is not what I expected with Parnate, but that is what happened. As the 3 months since I started have passed what happens now is that if I miss my dose in the afternoon I start yawning and feeling tired. It is just the opposite. Then if it is too late and I take the med then I don't sleep well during the night. But I don't feel sleepy after taking them anymore. So it did pass. I don't feel hyper either. Just sort of even. I'm not depressed and I don't have suicidal thoughts. I get up in the mornings and feel good about the day. I go to work (work part-time now) and feel good about what I'm doing. The working helps too. But the parnate is good for me. Like I said in the last post I wish I'd tried this earlier. The sleepiness for me was minor at the time since I was feeling so crummy anyway. I guess it's been the last month that I have noticed I feel good in the mornings. So overall it took about 2 months before I was feeling this much better. I hope you have good results. But not to worry about the tiredness. It does go away with a little time, at least for me it did.

> I started Parnate ten days ago, first 20 mg a day then 30 mg a day after the first week. It makes me tired during the day, but no other real side effects. Of course it hasn't kicked in yet. I am hoping tiredness diminishes over time.
