Hi,
I recently started taking parnate for depression and concerntration issues (my type of depression was characterized by huge amounts of sleep and some axiety).
I have started taking parnate, first two days 20mg first thing in the morning (around 8a,) and 20mg at 12:30pm, now I'm up to 30mg for the second dose (day 4). My problem is; I only get positive effects after the second dose. I am wondering if I should be upping the morning dose, as I have read in other threads on this forum that doses of 60mg+ can actually have less side effects than lower doses.
I notice that my heartrate doesn't race as much after the second dose properly kicks in and I can concerntrae, think clearly, but more importantly, it works as an anti-depressant. I also notice tinglying feelings around my head when the second dose kicks in, has anyone else encoutered this?
My tabs are 10mg, I'm not sure if they come in larger amounts, but 50 tans won't last too long at 60mg+ doses, even with a couple of repeats that I have. This isn;t too much of an issue, as I ahve a healthcare card (an Australian thing)- they only cost my $4.90 AUD per 50tabs. So if going to higher doses might help, I am willing to do it.
Oh, I should also point out, that before the second dose, I feel quite tired, which really hold me back at work. After the second dose, I feel more relaxed, not so much tired.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Joe
