Hi Kirbyw:

Thank you for all the great information. It makes perfectly good sense to me!

It's good to know Parnate can work for so many years doing different doses and coming on and off it. I think once you get used to it, it is pretty forgiving. That is strange you had a hypotensive situation after so many years.

It seems the trick with Parnate is the augmentation. I have this clarity of mind with Parnate that I haven't had for years. I kind of hate to take anything else with it that might make me cloudy. That clarity also makes me feel a lot younger. Maybe that's where the increased libido comes from.
I have been on 80mg and my pdoc put me on 60mg because I was falling down. I've decided I was falling because of some inner ear issues, not the parnate. But I do feel better on 60mg. I have this belief that Parnate soothes and replenishes one's brain cells with much needed substances that have been badly depleted. So after a while a person can come down on it and just take enough that the brain doesn't get depleted again. I have absolutely nothing to back that up. I've thought a lot about it and that's what I came up with!
That's interesting you are going to take lithium with it. I know others do as well who are bipolar. My pdoc had me try lithium ages ago because it does help unipolars sometimes. It didn't help me, but it was worth a try. Let us know how the lithium works for you.
I think it's great you could do so well on Parnate for so long with small doses and drug holidays as well. I have such fatigue on Parnate that I don't think I could be on it without Provigil or some other stimulant. Fatigue has always been major part of my depression, so I'm not surprised.
You've given me even more confidence that Parnate is going to continue to work for me.
I think it's a pretty amazing drug. I love it!

Thanks again,
Be well,

Gayle
