Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. Parnate did not work for me this time. I felt muddled a good part of the time, which is quite different on how it affected me the first time. As I just want to get this withdrawal over with, I stopped at 20 mg. yesterday. Brain zaps are unpleasant but I always get them going off any AD..the only difference is the degree and severity of the discontinuation symptoms.
Sorry if this post isn't very clear either..I'm just trying to get through today as best I can feeling like I have enough electricity in my brain to light up a room..
