Burn-out, Poop-out, What??

Posted by Budgie on October 9, 2003, at 13:14:09

Hi folks,

Just want to whine right now, but also get some advice.

I'm at 40mg Parnate right now, started just over two months ago, and I can't figure out if it's helping or what. I swear a month ago I was almost "high" I felt so good on it- smiling, talking to people, super talkative in class, energetic to the max. For the past three weeks maybe, I've been on this roller-coaster, though. First I thought it was sleep deprivation (got that straightened out). Then I thought it was the caffeine (now I don't necessarily think so). Now- maybe it's the meds or lack thereof.

What's going on with the Parnate? Please don't tell me it's poop-out! When I feel good, I still feel really good. Do I need to up the dose? Do the stimulant effects just plain wear off after time (that's no fun!)? Physical exertion has become very difficult- if I walk up a hill, my muscles start aching and I feel like I could almost pass out sometimes (I *know* this is from the med). Is my mood-shifting (sometimes quite rapid) and generally dampened mood a comedown from the excitement/placebo effect I began with?

Or could it be a still untreated/undiagnosed problem? The daily stress of being around people (I'm not being treated with anything specifically for my SP- is this enough to negate any AD effect?)? Sometimes I wonder if a diagnosis of depression/SP is 100% accurate and gets to the bottom of things.

I don't know. I'm just frustrated right now and my mind is cranking- not a good combination. RRRRGHH.

Thanks for any insight. Thanks for reading my post, completely lacking in clarity as it is.

Budgie
