> I definitely have more energy, motivation and less anxiety, depression. Initially, because of the insomnia I was napping more during the day, however, when I was awake I had energy. In fact, at work I was a terror. :)How were you able to sleep during the day if you're working? If I were at work and feeling that mid-afternoon exhaustion that others on Nardil describe, how can I counteract that? Normally I would drink a lot of coffee but you can't do that on an MAOI, can you?

Does that include walking as well? I'd like to be able to walk at a decent pace for 30 minutes a day. Is something so minimally demanding a problem for you now?
