Hi Maxine:

You sound a teensy weensy bit better. That good.

This Parnate is really strange. I'm almost at 6 months. I have had the feeling it isn't making me so tired? So I have taken 60mg. today DURING THE DAY!!: 20mg.at noon, 20mg. at 4pm. and 20mg. at 8pm. It's 9pm here. I'll take the other 10mg at bedtimes. I also took 200mg of Provigil. I have been fine today. Just like any other day lately. This leads me to believe I'm at the point that it doesn't matter WHEN I take the Parnate. I don't understand it. Maybe spreading it out now is the best. It really only makes me a little tired now. I think the 20mg at noon gave me a little bit of a stimulant buzz for a few minutes.

That was nice! I think I have been "sick" for so long that it's going to take a really long time to get "filled up" again.

I"m feeling great!! I'm able to do things easily that I haven't been able to do in years. No kidding. This afternoon after doing 20 things earlier and having my grandson, I made 2 birthday cakes for my AA group, decorated them and made 2 birthday cards and made it to my group at 6pm. Unbelievable.

You are going to get there too. It might take you six months?? I could feel glimmers of feeling better in a "deeper" more clear way than I have in 15 years. That helped give me the grit to keep going. Do you feel that yet?

The thought that I will probably have to take Parnate the rest of my life doesn't bother me a bit.

Yes, I really am extremely lucky that I'm not having much trouble with insomnia. I have had trouble sleeping since I was a little girl. I don't understand why I'm not now. I still have the 3am-4am awakening that I've had forever, but I can usually go back to sleep and I don't have that icky obsessive paralyzing fear.

Try to keep a journal. I did because I kept track of everything I ate and my blood pressure. It is amazing to look back and see how terrible I felt for a really long time. My friends thought I was nuts to keep taking something that made me feel so bad, month after month.

It was so worth it!!

I can't wait until this part is over for you!!
You wont believe it!!

Love ya,
Gayle
