Well, I'm on 70 mg of Parnate now for several weeks. Still having occassional bad blood pressure spikes after a dose, not related to food, and unpredictable (some days, BP fine; other days, BP through the roof after a dose). I can't seem to tolerate more than 20 mg at a time, but as we go up on the dose I can't keep spreading the doses out all day or I'll be popping pills like crazy! If things aren't better soon, we might try Marplan.

As far as other side effects on the Parnate, I've had a really bad taste in my mouth for a while now. Anyone else have that problem?

Also, sleepy during the day; insomnia at night (but I had that beforehand as well).

A bit of an effect on orgasm now at 70 mg- not delayed or anorgasmic, just much less intense.

A bit of dizziness at times on standing suddenly, but that hasn't been too bad.

My mood's a bit better, and I feel a bit more "chatty" with strangers, but this has not been dramatic enough to justify the side effects so far. Ah well.... Drug resistent depression sucks.
