> So I'm not the only one who feels a bit slow on Parnate. Sometimes in conversation I don't feel like I can get the ideas across as well as I could before. I've been told that I don't sound dumb, but I feel less than my best in terms of mental sharpness right now.
>Hopefully that may go away, when your body gets used to it.
> I have to say that the last couple of days I have felt a lot better when I wake up in the morning. I have a feeling that things are pretty good and that everything's going to be alright. I don't like the sedation and I feel quite cold all the time and my libido had dropped through the floor... but aside from that, it seems that most of the time I am feeling alright.
>I also get the chills, and periodic sedation and drowsiness in the afternoon. Still, it's not nearly as bad for me as side-effects from other ADs.
> BTW, is this your first time on the Parnate? How long have you been taking the Stablon?
Yes, it's the first time with parnate, though I've been on other MAOis. I've been on Stablon something over a year, and find it helps with mood, anxiety a fair amount, without causing serious side-effects. Sometimes, indeed, it feels like it's doing nothing, but the absence of severe sadnss reveals its effect, to me.
