Maoi,
Hi there again!!
Sorry, but here come the questions.
How long did it take you to start feeling effects? (days, weeks?). How long before you started feeling consistantly level?
Were you tired in the beginning? If so, how long did it take for your energy level to come back up?
Do you feel like it gives you extra energy?
Did you have any BP problems?
Do you have to take something to help you sleep? If so what? (Have tried every med to help with sleep. Nothing helps except a bunch of zanax.)
Did you need to or did you ever take a benzo as backup? I am hoping to be able not to take zanax's if I don't need to.
Since I am a female (I am assuming you are a male), was wondering how it effects libido? Understand if you can't answer that one.
I am 5'2 and weigh 125 lbs. Do you feel like it's one of those drugs that I can keep the weight down with exercise and diet or do you feel like you gain weight regardless of what you do?
I am seeing the pdoc on Feb. 5th and need to choose between parnate or marplan. Am strongly leaning towards the marplan because of BP issues and because I read that parnate can make you more anxietal sometimes. (which I don't need).
I apologize for bombarding you like this, but there is not alot info out there on marplan.
I talked to my pharmacist today and he said at regular starting dosage, it would probably cost me about $150.00 per month. Not to bad as I have had to pay alot more for other meds.
Can you tell I am desperate for something to work? LOL!!!!
I truly appreciate any responses that you might have. If you can think of anyrhing to tell me that I did not ask, please let me know. I JUST WANT MY ENERGY, MOTIVATION AND LIFE BACK!!!Thanks, Courtney
