I had read quite a bit in the past about it minimizing opiate tolerance. Some here for sure and probably on sites like Eroid, the good drug guide, blue light etc... I cannot recall if it was by evidence or by anecdotal evidence. I am sure I got mixed up and it does nothing for amphetamine. Thanks for gently showing me my inaccuracies. It is kind and helpful. I had a slight memory of reading there were other possibilities to minimize opiate tolerance. I guess I did not want to search them out again only with a possibility of forgetting it soon after I read it. Sorry if I am inconveniencing people here.
I am having trouble with the stimulating effects of medications that used to help.
Amineptine for one. I started Parnate today and have been so anxious I took several klonopin and 4mg of perphenazine. I found I could almost not move for a couple of hours the anxiety was so high. Perhaps memantime is after all not a suitable route?
I have always had too much stimulation from Parnate. Perhaps my mood and such has been so low I had trouble dealing with the abrupt change?
As I have finally started the Parnate unless there is convincing evidence that I should be better helped by trying the meantime first I believe I should continue?
I have been trying to evaluate my mother on memantime. It is difficult as she cannot remember from day to day what she was like. It was obvious at first her confusion was worsened. Now she is on a full dose ( I cannot get her to tell me as she does not seem to understand) but I believe 10mg twice a day it seems like maybe she is having some improvement. I was hoping for some improvement in mood which I have not seen. I have recently read that this medications advantages might only be seen with chronic use.
I do not assume that opiates should not be tried for depression. Perhaps as last resort but I do not believe in suffereng for sufferings sake alone.
