I am ow taking 30mg of parnate (in 3 doses).
I have noticed that I am having an increaesed amount of joint stiffness and pain. Is this common?Also the transition from 20 to 30 mg has made me a bit sleepy at times so i am bringing my doses closer together.
I am feeling beter -- not fabulous but better. The only other side effects seem to be occasional bouts of intestinal distress.But so far side effects are less than with most meds.
Just noticed the other day, to my surprise, that I have fingernails. Also, the frequency and intensity with which I use dental floss has lessened.
So some of the compulsive and distructive habits that AD's have triggered are calming. Now I will see how I settle into full dosage.
I am on Parnate because all the srri's were melting down too quickly. Too much of my life was spent re-grouping and the anger and frustration were getting to me.
