In reply to Parnate or Risperdal Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? HELP, posted by AdamCanada2 on March 24, 2009, at 13:10:07
Hi,
I know that the hydrazine derivatives(phenelzine-Nardil)can deplete B6, which can cause some peripheral neuropathy. I don't think that Parnate does, however. I could be wrong, I haven't researched it.
Take care,
Jedi
> at that time i been taking 20mg parnate (few days reduced from 30mg). been on parnate 2+ months. and also that time been taking risperidone 0.5mg (2 weeks or more)
>
> started on friday when i woke up. it felt like my left hand and arm were asleep, in my arm it mostly went away after some minutes (but felt it still near my shoulder for a day) but my hand... fingers... numb! at first so numb i couldn't even use one left hand finger to type, grab anything, do anything with it!

> at least now i can use my left hand somewhat in typing but one finger of it only, i can grab things but not be able to apply much pressure, squeezing a conditioner bottle for example can be difficult and other day to day activities.

> could risperdal have caused this? or parnate? sure my doses may seem Low for most but I am someone who is sensitive to meds so perhaps for others my dose is the equivilent of double etc.

> will this go away
