In reply to Parnate + Nortrip. Can 'Poop Out' be beaten??????, posted by FrequentFryer on February 14, 2013, at 7:33:43
Several months ago, I began to feel extremely tired and depressed . I have bipolar II and did not want to give up on parnate. It had been a miracle drug for me. No other medication even came close.
Before talking to my psychiatrist, I scheduled an appointment with my gp. Part of his lab workup included a vitamin D level. The test showed it was extremely low.
What I had been unaware of is parnate can lower Vitamin Do levels. In addition I had a gastric bypass in 2004, was getting very little outside sun exposure and don't drink milk.
I tried over the counter D3 (5000 u daily) with little results. Then he gave me a prescription for 50,
000 units once a week for 4 weeks.3 days after my first dose I felt a huge improvement. In another week the fatigue & depression were gone.
Anyone who feels like parnate has quit working, please, before switching, get a physical exam to make sure there isn't another reason for your symptoms. Make sure they check your Vitamin D of course.
