Hi John,
I was wondering if this was a "hypomanic" (quotes, as I continue to question my diagnonsense)
symptom as well, but it doesn't seem to cycle at all and the fact that the MAOIs are notorious for causing this seem to rule that out. I was having horrible irritability and agitation so my doc has added risperdal which helped me sleep the first day but not since then. I am still on depakote and neurontin as well and I could try moving the depakote. Interestingly, the neurontin gave me some definite insomnia (I take 3600mg) before I started Nardil and sometimes I wonder if it isn't the culprit. However, just on Neurontin I'd have trouble getting to sleep but would stay asleep. Now on Nardil I have trouble falling and staying asleep, but I suppose the neurontin can't be helping things. It's not providing any therapeutic benefit so I'm going to ask my doc about getting rid of it. I wonder if this goes away with time... that would be nice :)Jon
