I've never experienced fatigue with Parnate; I get over-activated, which is why I take Atenolol (for akathisia) and Seroquel (for insomnia) and switch off between Ambien and Halcion (for insomnia, to prevent tolerance to one of the drugs).I am on 120 mg and it has changed my life. I noticed its AD effects beginning at 90 mg and with the increased dose, I am truly HAPPY for the first time in my life.
I've been on Parnate now since October 06. Before that I was on it for about a year but the dose was too low.
I have gained weight but I was severely anorexic when I started the medication, and given that I am on several meds that cause weight gain, it's hard to say which has done what. I started at 78 pounds (at a height of 5'3). I now weigh 115 - 120. But I needed to gain it and am at a healthy weight so it could be just resolution of anorexia nervosa.
