I was so tired pdoc moved it to dinner, evening...I asked him if I could take it all at once and he didn't like the idea, said two doses, evening and bedtime. Well, I can't remember worth a darn to take it that way, so I end up taking it all at once at bedtime. I don't know if that is the best.

Hi Gayle!
No actually I am not feeling better. Its really rocky and inconsistent- I feel ok in the mornings and by the afternoon I am zonked and also very depressed inspite of the 200mg provigil. Yesterday I became suicidal again. It's all all really weird. Usually with AD's the first thing to go are suicidal feelings. With Parnate you feel good one day and rotten the next. Very confusing- I was ready to give it up but now my last choice is Effexor (high dose) which I don't know will work. Last time I took it, it was minus a mood stabalizer so it worked because I switched into a manic high. I was like that for 8 months but I don't know if it will lift severe depression if I don't switch. (which I wont because of the Lamictal)

About your dosing:
I guess if you can tolerate 70mg at once that must be okay. I think (really not sure) that perhaps they want to divide the dose so your blood pressure doesn't suddenly jump. If you are ok on it physically, maybe that is fine. Personally I took 20mg at once and nearly fainted- my head was reeling and my heart was beating in a weird way- not too fast though.

If I figure out a good way to dose I will be sure to let you know. Maybe there is a way to avoid tiredness all together. Who knows.....
meanwhile take care
Love
D
