So my psychiatrist and I decided to go with Parnate in the end. I'll be starting at 20mg tomorrow, before moving up to 30mg after a week. He consulted Stahl's prescribing manual and is willing to go up to at least 60mg.
I asked if he would prescribe clonidine for insomnia, given that benzos given me the worst rebound depression, but he said he needs to look into its interaction with MAOIs. His suggestion (based on Stahl) was Trazodone, though I just googled and it doesn't seem to be available in Australia.
