Jessica & Steve,

I want to thank you both for taking the time to respond to my post. Jessica - I have read some research studies where very high dose Parnate was used successfully. Steve - your warning about taking high doses of the drug is good advice well taken....I will exercise good caution.

Parnate has been a difficult drug for me to adjust to. I have had the stimulated feeling when I take it in the morning, take the second dose at noon or one PM, from 3:00PM until 9:00PM I am almost catatonic (nodding almost asleep, just stare into space, find it difficult to even talk to people). The sleep pattern has been a bit of a mess so perhaps trazadone would be a help. I am glad to know it takes a good deal of time for the drug to take effect....it seems forever when the depression is heavy. As for weight, I haven't noticed much change, probably too early to tell. I have two more ECT treatments to complete and hope the Parnate takes hold soon.

Once again, thank you both very much. If additional facts come to mind please pass them on.

Geezer
