> Sigh. I forgot how Parnate causes insomnia. I don't understand how a med can cause FATIGUE and INSOMNIA. I don't know what to take for it. Maybe my pdoc will let me use 10 mg of Amiptryptaline or Surmontil. Damn. There is always a price to pay for everything.

I have used the supplement Melotonin to help me fall asleep while on Parnate. I found it was far more effective than any Rx drug, since there is no rebound insomnia.There is also Hops, Passion flower, etc. All of which I think you shoud try before going to sleep meds. And FWIW, I also take klonopin, and have found that Melotonin is more effective (in getting me to sleep)...You can also try a low dose of diphenhydramine (like childrens benedryl)
