Hello fellow Parnate adventurers,
Please forgive my spelling I have MS and spelling is no longer on my can do list. And to think I graduated from college with high honors just to become stupid. LOL You have to deal or hang it up.
I am new here, but I have been reading your posts for the last couple of months thank goodness, or the Parnate would be down the john after 2 days.
My Story is very long but not to worry I will just do the highlights. I started taking meds when I was 6yrs old (They were The best too. Wish I knew what they were.} I had severe phobias at the time. Over the years they would come and go, until I hit my 20s. Bang! total agoraphobia. OCD, the works, didn't leave the house for 2yrs! With valium and a book I read (mostly the book) I was totally cured within 3 months and stayed that way for close to 20yrs with the help of Nardil. It stopped working for me completely. Still no OCD or phobias, but depressed you bet.
I have been the full gambit over the yrs of the new and old meds. no help. So decided I must try Parnate again, It was and is my last hope.
During all those yrs I managed to escape any depression, or else I was too scared to even realize it. I was DXed with MS and hypothroidism in 1998, boy I sure know depression now. Depression is a symtom of both diseases. Lucky me.
On to parnate. I also stated taking it in December, just couldn't take another year of this. I currently take 40mg and thaught I had made it. NOT!!!! For a few days I felt like a kid again.
My fear is that because I took Nardil for so many years that might interfere with the action of parnate. The side effects are so much milder than nardil. I do remember nardil took quite awhile to work also, but I wasn't depressed at the time. Not for the first 10yrs anyway.Please any help or encouragement would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you
Sissy35

Thank you so much for responding to my post. I have a lot to share but its 2am so I better try to get some sleep. I do prefer the nite. Is that from depression? Or is it because I feel better at nite and don't want to lose the good feeling? I know one thing it could be worried about what I will feel like in the morning.
such a little scaddy cat at times!
Your right about the sense of humor. If I didn't have that I would have been gone yrs & yrs ago like my husband who commited suicide at 36.hope to talk to you again

> Sissy35For me its feeling good at night, and God knows we don't want to waste a second of that! I'll sleep thru the bad stuff given a choice. I'm sorry about your husband. I don't think I have the words right now. Keep up that sense of humor till you can get some relief from depression. Might want to have one after, too :)
