Hello!
I've been taking Parnate for 2 months, and it's effectively ended 15+ years of chronic depression. I've had very few side-effects, compared to those I've experienced on other anti-depressants, *except* that I've had horrible insomnia at night and, oddly enough, terrible sleepiness between 2-6 in the afternoon.
I've read a few posts on other forums that suggest this pattern has happened to others. I am dangerous between the hours of 2-6, and I can barely stay awake on my feet, let alone drive a car. Then, around 10 pm, I'm wide awake until 5 am.
Has anyone else experienced sleep disturbanes with MAOIs, and what has your doctor suggested?
(My doctor is, btw, the worst doc I've ever had, and I get no help from him with anything. I have appointments coming up with new docs, but, of course, I can't get in until January or February.)
Thanks!
