In reply to q's for those who are, or have been, on Parnate, posted by g_g_g_unit on January 31, 2012, at 2:39:05
> 1. Did you notice any significant difference in effect once you passed a certain threshold, i.e. 60mg? Last time I was prescribed the drug, my psychiatrist wouldn't raise the dose above 40mg, though I've read of several people who found a significant improvement in anxiety etc. only once they reached 60mg.
Having had much experience with Parnate and working with several doctors, I can say with confidence that true therapeutic dosage range for Parnate is 40-80 mg/day.
> 2. Does the drug have any positive/neutral effects on cognition?
I find that it is neutral. However, cognition will improve as depression improves. If you do experience "brain-fog" or "spaciness" in the beginning, these things should pass.
> Does the initial stimulant effect fade,
I'm not sure what you mean by "stimulant effect". How would you describe it?
> 3. Did sleep improve at higher doses, i.e. 50-60mg?That has not been my experience with Parnate. Where did you get this idea from?
