You are titrating rapidly. I cannot predict what, if any, untoward events you may encounter. I think the fastest I titrated to 60mg was 14 days. I really don't know if I could have handled more.

The first episode can come without warning. Hopefully, it will be orthostatic hypotension that will arrive first. You can have a certain amount of control of this by rising slowly from a lying or seated position. The first two times I tried Parnate, I experienced episodic dizziness, even though I had already been standing for quite awhile. Be careful of stairs. You can experience dizziness after you arrive at the top once the rhythmic contractions of the leg muscles cease.
