In reply to Scott, did I go through Parnate withdrawal?, posted by ColoradoSnowflake on December 7, 2009, at 10:03:32
Hi Gayle.
I don't think "less is more" in the case of your experiences with Parnate and nortriptyline. It is possible that the depression was a true relapse from losing MAO inhibition. That you feel better now might be the result of a withdrawal rebound improvement that can occur with MAOIs and tricyclics. Having reduced the dosage of both drugs could be responsible for what you are currently experiencing. The improvement is likely to be temporary.
Of course, I am hoping that I am wrong. The brain is an enigma. It is pretty silly to think that one can know how it is going to react to change with certainty.
Have you been experiencing any vivid dreaming?
