I was on and off Parnate for a lot of years. Check your blood pressure to see if it is running low. That might be making you tired and the Parnate would cause that. What helped me with the blood pressure and fatigue was some ritalin sr. You have to be careful because it can cause hypertension but I never had a problem with it. Also coffee helped. If your doc will not prescribe ritalin my pdoc told me to take half of a (I cannot remember the da** name) anyway its a small OTC red allergy pill. Maybe you will remember the name. Sorry. It really ticks me off that my memory is so bad. Anyway be careful as this can cause the same hypertensive crisis as the ritalin.
Are you having problems sleeping? I always had to weigh the pros and cons but in the end it really was the only med that ever helped.
