> I'm so frustrated with this drug
> I know it has been 15 days but I have yet to come across a drug that takes so long to get rid of suicidal feelings.
> Am up to 30mg but when I take 20mg together (at night) like my pdoc said I get hypotension and feel like I am going to have a black out. I sleep/pass out for a few hours. Plus I am sleepy all day despite the provigil 200mg. I am such a basically sleepy person and this drug is having no stimulant/lifting effect on me. I am thinking of stopping cold turkey since my dose has been 30mg for only 2 days. Then I think I will go on Effexor (high dose) with wellbutrin and provigil.
> I know people here are swearing by this pill but I don't understand how people have put up with such rocky, inconsistent and terrible days. This pill is just making me give up hope :( I wish I was equally strong willed as everyone else who has waited it out- I don't think I can make it.
> Maybe I am being impatient but this is making me more suicidal- the tiredness makes me depressed in its own right and because i cannot augment with ridiculously high does of provigil and wellbutrin i am pretty stuck.
> Very confused
> My parents and doctor dont feel I am giving it a fair trial but I feel worse than when I started (physically) and am still suicidal (although not so actively- but I am getting there)
> Just so confused......and sad :(
> Love to all

sorry to hear that Delna :( if it's any concilitation i was on the verge of giving up at 30mg because i saw no effect at all. 40mg, which i've been on for two days, has made enough different to stick it out .. there's definitely some change happening. like you, the effect is very inconsistent in me - for one, these anger episodes are unbearable - but i think i'll wait it out a bit longer.

don't feel bad for giving up. it seems to have become a kind of trend to take Parnate here, so i know i felt weird for quitting at first - like i had failed some test. but it is a really hard drug to work with
