At lower doses, I was so exhausted I didn't feel so bad- probably just never more than semi-awake. But I never really had much energy on the stuff. It was noticably better at higher doses-- I didn't fall asleep every few hours, for an hour or so-- but I never had anything like full alertness either.

Believe me, if I can find a new pdoc, I WILL!!
I realize that if I can hang in there long enough to reach a therapeutic dose on the Parnate it could work and end up being worth it...I just don't know if I can stand feeling this weak and exhausted and "out of it" for that long!!
