In reply to Parnate side effects?, posted by LLL on July 25, 2002, at 10:32:30
> I recently started Parnate again and am only taking 10 mgs in the am and am cutting the next pill in half for the afternoon. I will be increasing it sloooooowly until I get to 50 mgs or so. However, my pulse has been really elevated,like up to 100, although I don't feel jittery or anything. I can't remember, is this usual and does it pass?
> No, I don't currently have a doc, we just divorced! Seeking new one - yuck!Yeah, I was wondering this myself. I tried Parnate for about 3 weeks, but only got up to 30 mgs. I usually tolerate meds really well, but my heart was just beating really hard and fast all the time. Not jittery though, actually felt fairly decent but no real dramatic improvement. Like if I laid down on my stomach I could feel my heart hitting against the bed..! Felt like it was going to blow out of my chest.. so, I told the doc this after 3 weeks and he told me to stop it. Never got to find out if it would wear off, so yeah, Im curious as to if anyone knows that as well. I wouldve liked to have gone higher and for a longer period, but then again I dont want to end up like that guy in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.. heh, later
