I tried splitting dose into 3 (10mg 3xday) as you guys suggested, by 3rd dose it would spike (from low BP to 188-190 in a matter of 20-30 minutes). Tried cutting down to 2 doses of 10mg, some elevation but not as much. Also no response with either attempt. This makes me suspect of that initial amphetamine reaction ppl post about. Hmm. Course, it'd be hard to tell when the back of your head is pounding...
Pdoc said to stay on 30mg since great response but add "nifedipine". It worked. If I have another significant ht crisis I will have to stop Parnate...Noooooooooo! It works!
Hoping someone has knowledge about Nifedipine, without it, I'll have to go back to clean living as my only hope, yuk! (Have tried this, really doesnt work for my depression)
Where's Larry Hoover when you need him? Sorry, I've seen so many ppl post that had to give it a try.
If any one has Parnate answers/info, would like to hear from them. Curious about whether initial response lasts for most? Does it change? Stop wrkg after robust early response? I really don't think I was experiencing euphoria/mania (not BP, btw). I geuss I'll find out soon enough over the coming weeks, as initial response is now returning. I'll post my experience for anyone interested.
