> Yes. Based upon your current experiences, I think you may need to increase your dosage of Parnate. Most people do not dream once they reach a therapeutic dosage. This is not by any means a hard and fast rule, though. However, taking into consideration your persistent dysautonomia and continued dreaming, I think you need to go up.

Hi Scott... I wonder something...I don't understand exactly what you mean about the dream factor...Do you mean that someone who will dream don't reach the effective dosage of Parnate, or you mean that someone who will begin to dream have reach the good dosage??? I'm a little bit confuse here...I notice that I stop dreaming when I start the Parnate at a dose of 30mg...After 1 week the dream return...I also up my dosage at the same time to 40mg and the dreams stop again...now I had to return to 30mg and I dream all nights...
I stop 3 days the Parnate and just restart it yesterday at 30mg/daily. Last night, I don't dream... Since the Parnate is suppose to supress the REM sleep stage, do you think it's related to my dose? Do you think I should increase my dose if my dreams return, especially if they begin to be more and more vivid??? Do you think it can be also related to the fact that I start to take a small dose of Seroquel 25mg before the bedtime?...
Thanks to answer to all my questions !!!
Have a nice day!
Vincent ;-)
