> I tried countless things to help Parnate insomnia.
Yes. I had to combine Halcion with Ativan to treat the total insomnia I experienced when I combined Parnate with desipramine. Fortunately, it worked.
> I was on 30mg parnate for 2 weeks. The horrible depressed effect remained.
That stinks. I have no brilliant explanations for why this happened to you.
> Also I do not feel it is improbable for people to have a therapeutic effect on 10-25mg of Parnate.
Yes, I believe it is improbably if we are talking about treating affective disorders.
> Not all of us need mega doses.
40mg is not a megadose. 140mg is.
> I am sensitive to meds and Paxil 10mg was the ideal dosage for me on such an SSRI while many thought it had to be higher. 20mg on that med (for 2 month I may add) put me in constant sleep. I failed a semester.
Did Paxil 10mg fail to keep working for you?
> Too high a dose is not always a solution for me.It would be convenient if we all responded to the same dosage of the same drug. No such luck.
Keep thinking and keep posting. I hope you are rewarded for your efforts.
