I've been keeping a personal journal for about 15 years. Have about 45 volumes. When you emerge from the blackness and re-read your journals a few months later, you'll be able to say, "I never dreamt I'd get through this nightmare, but I did."
It seems to me that the dosing for Marplan and Parnate are comparable in numbers, so it appears that you're still on a pretty low dose. When badly depressed, I can expect good results from the Parnate only at a 40 mg., no less. You still have a few days before you'll get upto therapeutic dose on the Marplan, and then you'll have to be patient until it kicks in. Keep posting day by day. This in itself will help get you through the seemingly never-ending waiting period.
