To avoid insomnia, I dosed 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, but I do feel there's an overlap in the stimulant effect, so am wondering if I should just cut down to 2x5mg, until I can tolerate taking a whole 10mg tab, and then resume 2x10mg.The half-life of Parnate is about 2 hours. At 80 mg/day, you can take 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg six hours later. As long as your last dose is taken before 3:00 PM, you won't be making your insomnia worse. You might still experience it, though. I know of no way to predict. Of course, you can dose more frequently if that helps mitigate hypotension.
