I felt even more at 90 mg., where I am now. It's no total cure, but I am at least sure that it is working. Heck, I pay 180 bucks out of pocket for it every month.

Thank you for your response. My biggest problem has always been anxiety, that really does not seem to have any kind of source. I have tried seeing therapists but it never seems to go very far because I tell them, "it's just there." I don't know why, I have a great family, friends and support system. No major life events that should cause any of this, but nonetheless, the anxiety seems to persist. How long were you on the dosages of parnate before you went up? When you describe you can tell it is working, what are the positive benefits you notice? After coming off of celexa rather quickly to try nardil i have been struggling with the return of anxiety and it is very difficult to wait and have any hope that nardil will help. Did you take any other meds to help with your situation while you were increasing your parnate dosage? Just this morning I had too much anxiety to go to work, so I called in took 1 1/2mg and ativan and went back to sleep for awhile. I am going to try to go in now, because I know that is the better choice than siting at home and ruminating about feelings of hopelessness and anxiety. Any suggestions would be greatly helpful!
Thanks,
Landon
