I want to first say i find it very comforting to find a place where there are so many Maoi users.Localy the average person,and most docters are totaly unfamiliar with them,they just know of the common ssris,so i have no one to share infromation with in real time.I say im on parnate and people give me a blank stare.
I also wanna state that a recent thread about parnate had me in awe as it sounded like the words were comming right from my mouth.
Parnate now is still providing me stableness,and being on all the other meds numerous times i have no intention on going back.I like the other poster however crave the initial relief parnate provided me with during its first year.The incosistnency of the med right now is driving me crazy,i have augmented it with tons of substances from meds to herbs.
Currently im finding most benifit from 3 caps of l-thenaine,.25 klonopin,partial tab of vivarin,20-30 mg parnate.
There is a initial discomfort as it settles,but after i am able to be fully funciontal and racing thoughts stop.
The caffiene from what i read is a smooth muscle relaxant at low doses which is why i think it helps,i now wont even consider taking parnate with out even a small pieace of it.
I guess the previous poster already asked the question on any possable recomendations on add-ons,so i will be sure to keep my eye out on any posts,and will keep everyone updated on my progress as well.
As far as nardil goes,i understand it has a slight gaba effect that parnate doesent,but i also heard a major believe of its therputic action is the fact a metabolite of it turns into PEA the feel good choclate substance,which may explain whynardil users tend to like chocalte.
Im curious if parnate has the same effect on PEA.Has anyone heard of this?
Also i am very very curious to know others dosing amounts.Id greatly appreciate anyone to share,i myself will dose no higher than 40 mg at a time,but 30-20 mg is much much more common.
Can someone please share the amount of parnate they take in a single dosing?please!
I ask this also because what i notice is i can only tolerate a 10 mg dose of parnate if i had already had a larger dose earlier,a single 10 mg dose puts me in a very bad mood.I also am not able to take parnate alone anymore,i have to augment it,anyone else have this problem as well?
I am very very sorry to drop so many questions at once,please feel free to answer any one of them,as they all are very important to me and information on even a single question would greatly be appreciated.
Ill be sure to keep everyone updated to my parnate trials,thank you for the ear!
