> Hmm. So I decided to take 4x5mg today, rather than 2x10mg. The stimulant effect is a lot smoother, thought it leaves me feeling a little stuporous, akin to sub-therapeutic Dexedrine doses.

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.
