In reply to Parnate - 60mg isn't enough, posted by ColoradoSnowflake on December 15, 2009, at 0:05:32
I've gotten so depressed since my dog died and Xmas is closing in on me. I just had a big molar pulled and a cavity filled (which I blame on the Parnate dry mouth because I have good teeth).
My son with the newborn, and 16month old and 15 yr old son and wife will be here later today. I am on overwhelm. I have GOT to get the house somewhat ready and some food as well.
Yesterday afternoon I took a 7th Parnate because I was so depressed. I felt better right away. BUT, today I am dizzy, bumping into furniture, door jambs etc., itching and chilling worse. I live in a two story house with a finished basement and I run up and down the stairs all the time. Now I'm afraid. I'm trying to be really really careful, especially on the stairs. I do NOT want to fall again. I don't have the time or energy for any of that kind of drama.
I'm going to stick with 60mg Parnate. I think some of what it causes me is an allergic reaction (itching, chills ) and it makes my R.A. worse which sucks bad because I'm having so much trouble with my hands/feet/elbows...Bad hands are the pits if you have anything to do.
I think I'll up the Provigil to 200-250mg. I can't up the Nortrip. because it makes me so tired and adds to my unsteadiness.
I lived on booze and dexedrine for many years of my life. They worked wonderfully well. But, They both ended up turning on me so badly that I'm kind of afraid of either one of them.My adult hyper son takes Adderall and it is a lifesaver for him. I've got so much on my plate right now I'll wait until later to think about changing the Provigil. But I really do appreciate the suggestions.
I guess right now I have to calm my anxiety (no benzo's...make me too sleepy), and walk through the next 10 days as best I can).
I have to remember how lucky I am that my kids still like me and want to come (with all their entourages!) home for Christmas. I have to focus on that.
Maxie, I am so happy that you are in such a better place now!! I think adding the nortript really is a synergist with parnate and makes the whole thing work better, don't you? You worked really long and hard to get here. Bravo!Hope you all have as good of holidays as possible.
Hugs to everyone,
Gayle
