Ive been on parnate for 5 years,at 30mg and the prescription is just automatically renewed electronically.
Ive now upped the dose to 40 mg, but 50 mg gives me too many horrible side effects. This all happened because I was getting 'high' on 30 mg, beginning to spend more money than I should, imagining someone was my guru etc....so I reduced the med, which in hindsight, was a mistake.
I shouldnt have reduced it on my own, but i can now see that on 30 mg, I was behaving rather like a drug addict, and not thinking things out properly at all. It was like I was on a drug 'high'.
Cant sleep at all now and taking too much benzo to sleep, and cant really think straight or work , serious cognitive problems etc and have so much fear and anxiety. Dont know whether starting it from scratch again would work, but just ramping up has not worked and it just feels wrong to ramp up any higher.
I think this must be tachyphylaxis. Similar symptoms to when nardil stopped working.
