> I really feel for you. Do you think it's possible that Parnate isn't right for you? It doesn't seem to be helping *at all* if you have those symptoms. Are there any ADs that have worked in the past? Does your psychiatrist have any suggestions?parnate is one of the few which has helped. and i raised my dose a few days ago with a very significant benifit towards my mood, drive, motivation, enjoyment and productivity! i'm on 25mg now and 22.5mg the day before and 15mg the day prior. something like that. 10mg was the lowest i went in a while. i think dropping the valium is one of the things which ended up helping as perhaps it wasn't playing well with parn. since it's strange how back up to 25mg i am feeling better (even though it's likely the initial amphetamine type effect) relatively speaking.
BUT... my sleep right now is horrendous. My insomnia is massive and zero sleep two nights ago and this night i had slept a grand total of 1.5 or 2 hours. i was able to fall asleep after being in bed for a long while and despite being brutally exhausted i woke up after that short dream filled sleep and not able to fall asleep again. it's so frustrating to know i would be feeling decent if it wasn't for this insomnia.
how on earth do i deal with it? doctor wont give me anything unless i come with some ideas. he is out of options. anti-psychotics ruin any positive effect parnate has had for me in the past and zipicone (spelling) doesn't work, over the counter stuff has very limited effect from what i tried such as benadryl allergy, gravol, and typical sleep aids, valium i'm not sure if it does anything, drinking is too expensive and even that i am not sure if it helps.
to answer your question paxil worked for me in a limited fashion in the past but may have began to poop out when i was on it a year ago. remeron gave some relief as well. stablon worked to a degree. risperidone was one of the first to make me feel like i wasn't in constant pain several years ago. many others have failed me and made me worse such as celexa, effexor, cymbalta etc.
