I have been to a sleep clinic but was advised that my sleepiness was liknked to a psychiatric problem.
Unfortunately I am allergic to all anti-histamines so cyproheptadine is not a possibility.
I've only been on the Parnate at 10mg for around 10 days. I want to stop it because it just knocks me out so much. I looked up stephen stahls prescribers guide and he clearly says that it is sedating (3 out of a maximum of 4. whilst on the parnate i have been taking up to 400mg provigil (approved by my doctor)but even that doesnt help.
I guess there will never be anything like Geodon for me :( because it activated but it also acts to stabalize mood and get rid of anxiety. I think I may have to take my chances with the pain
Thanks for your reply

> have you ever had a sleep test? also try some cyproheptadine at bed, see if that works like geodon, at low doeses geodon is pretty similar especially since it was making you sleepy. thyroid is also something to consider.
