Hi Guys:
The fogginess just got less and less. Now I don't have it at all.
The fatigue is something else. I had it terribly bad from Amytriptyline and Parnate for a quite a while. When I dropped Amytrip and added Nortrip. I felt HUGELY better. But I still had some fatigue. It just wouldn't go away although I was feeling better in every other way...but that darn fatigue. So my pdoc recommended Provigil. That was the missing piece for me.
I was cutting back on it and breaking it in half etc because of the expense. Now, I take it regularly and I am feeling really really good. I think I get some fatigue from both the Parnate and the Nortript.
It seems some people get kind of jazzed up on Parnate. I think you just have to wait and see what it does to you.
Horrible fatigue has been a consistent bug-a-boo for me since my breakdown, so I'm probably more likely to get it than the next guy.
But if you DO have fatigue after the dust has settled I would DEFINITELY add a stimulant to the Parnate. Provigil isn't exactly a stimulant that's why it works so well for me with my history of abusing dexedrine. Some pdocs are scared of adding a stimulant like they are a TCA.
Provigil is great that way and a pdoc will usually be ok with it. It just costs so much and is not generic except outside the US.Maybe you wont need stimulants!! That would be great!! But you have to give it TIME to find out. I'm into my 6th month and am just recently getting Parnate tweaked so it works for me.
Patience!!The fogginess gradually subsides and the clarity increases.......Lots!!! It's pretty cool!!
Good wishes,
Gayle
