Or HAS it actually pooped out? The technical term is tachyphylaxis and it refers to a drug that stops being effective after having done its job for a while.
You seem to be asking about dosing--if you can take Parnate on Monday-Friday and not take it on the weekends. Am I right? If, so, why do you want to do this? That is not the proper way to take any anti-depressant. You must keep a steady stream of the stuff in your system every day or you're going to invite problems. You'd be sending your nervous system very mixed signals.
But, I'm also curious as to why you want to take the Parnate only part-time anyway,. cubbybear
