In reply to Nine Days on Parnate!, posted by NYCguy on February 2, 2007, at 13:09:09
>> A question to the Parnate/MAOI vets out there... does anyone know the right time interval to dose Parnate if one is taking it three times daily? Right now I'm taking it at 9am, 1pm, and 5pm, but I don't know if this is best. Any ideas?

> Thanks!I used to take 30 mg. of Parnate in the a.m. This was over 20 years ago. It worked really well for me. I had lots more energy and no sleepiness in the afternoon. More recently when again becoming depressed, I tried Parnate, 30 mg. in the a.m. again. Worked marginally; raised to 40 mg. in the a.m., and I started to get the jitters from it--kind of a high strung feeling. So went to Lamictal, was on 100mg. for a time, then added Emsam. On 12 mg. Emsam patch. Doesn't seem to do anything for me. I have tried other stuff too. Going off Lamictal now as it doesn't do anything. I suspect Parnate might work again for me. It is the only antidepressant I could tolerate at a therapeutic level (other than Emsam) without developing adverse reactions or allergic reactions before I could get to a therapeutic dose level. So, now time to try something different. I don't think I could tolerate Parnate above lets say 50 or 60 mgs.
