In reply to Sleep on Moclob - I'd like to hear your reaction. » SalArmy4me, posted by SLS on September 1, 2001, at 9:05:23

> > Moclobemide makes me tired, usually. {I'm gonna try to remedy that with Adrafinil}. But with that tiredness also comes oddly enough, insomnia, when I need to go to sleep late at night. This doesn't respond to benzos, trazodone (dangerous), or seemingly, anything else. What's the most powerful sedative out there?-- cause I'm gonna need it.

> I asked you in another thread how much sleep you were getting. You didn't answer me there, but you have here reinforced my concerns. I really think you ought to go to a doctor for a change and get yourself thoroughly evaluated. I am tempted to here recommend a strategy to treat mania and put you to sleep, but I don't want to diagnose you or make it too easy for you not to make a doctor's appointment. I hope my concerns are unfounded. I doubt you or I are qualified to come to a conclusion. However, I have noted that in the last 1 1/2 to 2 weeks, you have evidenced things that, in my experience, are consistent with mania - certainly enough to cause me concern. Most hypomanics are absolutely sure that they are not - and they can prove it.
