I've been on Tranylcypromine Sulfate for almost 7 weeks now:
4 days on 10 mgs.
5 days on 20 mgs.
6 days on 30 mgs.
10 days on 40 mgs.
7 days on 50 mgs.
16 days on 60 mgs.Side effects began at 60 mgs. including: dizzyness, lightheadedness (sometimes need to kneel/sit to not pass out while upright/walking), occasional hissing sound in head (starts light then louder - lasts for about 20 secs.), headache, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, etc.
Still have not felt any mood lifting/brightening or other positive effect.I've been on many meds. of all classes in the past for depression/ADHD w/ no response whatsoever, w/ the exception of Methylphenidate for a short time before tolerance built up.
Has anyone had any similar experiences w/ side effects, & possible thought of whether these side effects are a positive sign that the medication may begin to help soon?
Also is 60 mgs. too low from your experience (I've read many higher doses for some people - especially considering my high tolerance & 230 lb. body)?
Thank You For Your Time & Consideration,
Take Care & Be Well,
