Hello,
I've been sleeping 12-16 hours a day lately. I'm taking 60mg Nardil (phenelzine) and 1mg Klonopin (clonazepam). I stopped taking the Klonopin for a few days, but I still overslept. (I had taken .5mg Klonopin with Parnate before switching to Nardil and I had no sleeping problems.) I took similar doses of Nardil last fall, and had no problems at all. I know that the MAOIs (and Nardil, I would think, in particular) can potentiate the effects of the benzodiazepines, but I've used Nardil+Xanax in the past without problems. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if it wears off with time.
Also, I'm feeling really drowsy at night (but I still can't get to sleep before 3-5am) and I can't focus much at all (which is bad, because I do most of my best work at night). I'm O.K. during the day -- in fact, I can finally feel the depression lifting a bit. My life is pathetically simple at the moment, but I'm afraid that if this continues, well, whatever (I can't finish sentences, either). I feel "drugged."
Thanks,
Christophre
