Hi Doric:
It sounds like Parnate has worked really well for you for a long time! How many years have you been on it?
I take 30mg parnate and 100mg Modafinal first thing in the a.m.
Then 30mg. parnate and 50-100mg modafinal at noon.Then 10mg nortriptyline at 5 or 6 pm. It still makes me so tired I sleep like a log but am exhausted when I get up in the am at 10am instead of my regular 8am. I'm going to ask him about going off it. Maybe I'll start experimenting with not taking it first.
I am on a stimulant, modafinal.
Fatigue has been my worst worst worst complaint since forever. And nothing I've ever taken has really helped much.I hate going to bed at night because I don't want to get up in the morning feeling as awful as I do when I "come to" and have to put everything I have into it, to get up.
I had this on 80mg parnate, too, but I've been so happy not to have insomnia, that it was ok.
I could take more Modafinal, but at 200mg it gives me that icky "too much coffee" feeling.
I'm happy to hear it's worked for you so well for so long!
Thanks for your suggestions!
Gayle
