In reply to Can anyone have a 'Normal' life on Parnate?, posted by Crazy Horse on January 25, 2007, at 18:16:03
> I've been on Parnate in the past and as far as working as an AD it is the best i have ever taken, by far! BUT, the side effects are the problem..for me it was severe insomnia (and i tried every sleep med there is..nothing worked) and afternoon fatigue. My question is, do some people respond well to Parnate without these side effects..do the side effects ever go away with time? Also, last time i was on a very high dose- 160 mgs. This time (if i try it) i plan to stay between 60 and 80 mgs. at the highest, (as i always need high doses of meds) maybe at 60mgs. i could actually be depression free and without severe insomnia and the debilitating afternoon fatigue? I wonder if it's possible as i have never read many success stories about Parnate working well without the unbearable side effects.

I'm on Parnate and I lead a normal life. I take 80 mg/day. I don't experience afternoon fatigue but do have insomnia, for which I take 100 to 200 mg Seroquel and 10 mg Sonata.I've heard that those with daytime fatigue find taking some of the medication at night can reduce this. Have you tried that?
