In reply to Med for Nardil insomnia?, posted by Jumpy on March 22, 2003, at 21:53:27
How much do you take and when? I was on Ambien and Valium with Nardil and liked it, but if that doesn't work for you...
Benedryl also helps with this, it helped with Parnate insomnia too. Trazodone was useless for me.You will adapt to the drug and sleep better eventually.
If it gets too awful, cranking back the dose for a while may be nessesary. MAOIs can be a really rough blast as they rewire your brain, and you need to sleep enough. I'd be really cautious about anti-psychotics, I personally think they're a bad idea unless you're actually psychotic, but lazy shrinks love them as a Band Aid for everything. A little Risperdal to get a good nights sleep might be a nessasary evil, though. I'd be cautious about using it permanently, it could dull the fun of being healthy.
Hope this helpsmissliz
