> Last night was brutal. And trying to stay awake at work today was even worse. I took my second dose today around 1:00, first dose was at 6 a.m. I'm worried that I will fall asleep driving home, I'm THAT tired. I will try your suggestions as I moved the dose by myself and I'm not dying of hypertension so that's OK. Also, I don't consume caffeine as specified in the diet (I drank too much of it anyways and will have enough money for a G4 in a month from the savings of not going to Starbucks!!!) so that makes matters worse ... but one thing I have noticed, is that when I take coedine, it makes me WIRED!!! ... oh poop, it just occured to me there is caffeine in tynelol 3's!

> Hopefully this will all settle down and I'll feel normal again. This morning I felt like a wired poodle driving to work as I had a headache and yes, took some coedine.

> Funny thing is, taking this stuff is making me not want to smoke anymore as when I have one my head pounds so much it's not worth it! But when I was on Wellbutrin, aka Zyprexa or that anti-smoking med, I was smoking over a pack a day!!! Go figure.

> Thanks for your prompt responses. :-)Am a long-time Parnate user. I take a very small amount of Trazadone (Deseryl) at night. It gets me to sleep, and is safe to take with Parnate. I promise you, that's your answer. Deseryl, while an anti-depressant, is better as a non-addicting sleep aid than as a depressant. Take too much of it and you're worn out. I bite off a little chunk and that gets me to sleep.
