That's good news.
Really hope things pan out. Particularly am hoping that the suicidal thoughts are gone or are at least receding..Wishing you all the best

Jeez, Maxime--I don't know--I'm sorry. I'm assuming you feel pretty awful. Besides calling or e-mailing you doc asap. Any other centre available to you where they can prescribe? Obviously this isn't working. And I recall tradzedone was a bust?
I would start a new thread with a specific heading in addition to this one maybe?
I'm thinking of you,

Maxie maybe 12 hours of sleep was too much and you'll sleep again tonight. I'd try same thing. Worked once should work again? Love Phillipa

My insomnia used to be unbearable to treat. But your're on an maoi so your options are more limited. Don't fall into the Micheal Jackson horror. See the doc will contact tomorrow read ahead. Love Phillipa can you lie down and relax or try to?

It's excellent news! I really love Parnate. It's the only AD that works this fast for me and is effective. Cymbalta at its best wasn't this good. High praise for Parnate!!!

Again, feeling great today. I have to say that when I start to feel so good I always worry that I will wake up the next day and feel bad again. I am so scared that this good feeling will be taken away from me.

Argh, so annoyed. The pharmacy didn't have my Parnate today ... they have to order it. Why do they always have to order it. I guess I am the only person taking it but still, I need it on a regular basis. Pooh on them!! Now I have to return tonight after 6 pm.
Anyhow, I am not up to 80 mg of Parnate and that is where I will sit for now. No more augmenting.

Maxime,
I think I know what you're talking about when you say after a good day, you worry about the bad feelings returning. I feel this parnate is working and going to continue. This is at least your second good day, with more to come.
I didn't understand your 2nd recent post. Did you say you were up to 80 per day? No augmentation (& feeling good)?
and sleep?
I'm glad--let's keep those good days coming--we're pulling for you.

Yes, I am up to 80 mg now, where I will stay. I am not using any augmentors such as nortrip or stims. But I would like to use the Nortrip. I will ask my pdoc on Friday.
Sleep is still a big problem as the sleeping pills I have no only let me sleep for 2-3 hours maximum. I don't know what to do.

Still doing well on the Parnate and am taking 80 mg now. The only problem is the insomnia. I am taking something for the insomnia and it's lowering my mood so I don't like it. Sometimes I feel like I can't win. :(

I don't get insomnia. It's the sleepiness in the day I can't stand

Yes I get insomnia too if I take Parnate in the evening.

I wish I was getting more bang for my buck on the Parnate. Yes, it's working, but I remember it worked better the first time I took it in 2002. I guess I just have to patient. I've only been at 80 mg for about a week now. Hopefully things will improve. Plus I added the Nortriptyline so that should do something.
