I stopped tapering down on parnate and leveled off at 10mg. Many of the unpleasant symptoms have eased up, but I'm still having trouble sleeping and concentrating. It makes work very challenging.
With my pdoc, I'm evaluating a couple of options for treatment. (no one dare speak of ECT. Not again)
On one hand, there's xyrem (GHB) to improve sleep.
On the other, there's selegiline. MAOIs have worked well with me before, and there's hope that oral selegiline could work. The transdermal patch didn't work so well, so we're looking at oral.
I'd appreciate anyone's experiences with xyrem, as it sounds promising. And I like the prospect of getting quality sleep. Haven't had that in years.
Thanks for your support and concern.
