I have been on Parnate almost 3 years. The first time I forgot the dietary restrictions and ate a piece of pizza I expected the worst. Nothing happened. Now I cautiously ignore them. By that I mean that I don't go out of my way to eat things I shouldn't; and if I eat something on the restricted list, I do it in small quantities and watch for any side effects. I don't drink wine, and completely avoid "aged" cheese--which are supposed to be 2 of the worst. (I am not advocating that anyone else do this, I'm just sharing my experience.)
As for sleep problems, I have found that 20 mg. of temazepam allows me 8 hours of sleep with not a lot of residual fatigue the next day.
