Hi Oky,
seems you are a night owl as am I? Actually just getting thru those first days of Parnate insomnia...tired but can't sleep!It seems we have some meds in common. Actually tho, I haven't taken any pain meds for years. But I also DID take them for years. Like you, I had no choice. Anyway you've got the klonopin and ritalin, those were helpful at that time. Sounds like you need stronger pain meds than I did. So, right now I take Parnate, the antidote for Parnate, and Klonopin. That's it.
I dropped the ritalin a while ago. PDoc said not with Parnate. But I was taking 30mg daily.
So your doc lets you take ritalin with the Parnate? I geuss some people are getting along ok with small doses. Lucky.Well, I'm rambling. Sounds like your on the right path with meds. Sorry it had to be so frustrating :(
Btw-I would be interested to know what pain meds can safely be taken with Parnate. I don't need it very often, but when I do I'm not going to feel like goin to my GP, i can tell you that.I didn't look into that cause my Pdoc said Advil only.
Oh, you might want to get this antidote for Parnate if you haven't (Nifedipine). Sounds like you'll be able to handle the headache ok, but not the hypertension part. Its great for piece of mind.
May we both live long, parnate happy , pain free lives! (sometime in the near future).
Good night-Jade
