I have no idea, but...

I am very sensitive...

On my first dose of Parnate at just 5mg, and in two followup tests, I felt the stimulant part of it immediately. No more doses after that. By the third day, no doubt the stimulant action was long gone and the drug was nearly non-existent. But, I strongly felt the MAO inhibition. By day 3, mood was improving, energy improving, appetite down, sleep disturbed. I know what all the neurotransmitters feel like. To me it felt like 2 parts serotonin, 2 parts dopamine, 1 part norepinephrine.

From what I could "feel", the MAO inhibition lasted about 5 to 8 days. And from that one tiny dose, I'm guessing the inhibition was probably only 5%, 10%? Low. But to me, strong.

I think it is important for everyone to search for their own therapeutic target, make judgements along the way in slow titration, and not have a preconceived notion of what the right dose is. Because quite frankly, no one knows.
