>No it didn't. I feel like sh*t...i take a dose i.e. 30-40mgs, and i feel good for about two hours than i just crash. I've even tried taking 20 every 2 hours and i still feel like crap. I'm seriously thinking about tapering off and giving Remeron a shot, it worked very well for me for about 4 years until it pooped out..but it's been 2 years ago so maybe it'll work now.
I now have absolutely no energy on Parnate..it's strange??
