> Hello All,
>
> I'm currently on the following meds:
>
> Nardil 90mg
> Seroquel 50mg at bedtime
> Zopiclone 7.5mg at bedtime
>
> My problem is that I fall asleep easily, and then sleep well for 5-6 hours, and then am wide awake around 4AM, with no ability to fall back asleep again. Is this enough sleep? Should I be looking at something different for my sleep meds? Pdoc wants me off the seroquel soon, and won't really increase the Zopiclone because 7.5 mg is the PI maximum. I've tried trazadone and nortrypritylline in the past for sleep, and both left me excessively "fuzzy" the next day. Remeron works OK, but is contraindicated w/ the Nardil. Heavier benzos also work, but I am trying my hardest to avoid them. Any ideas?

> Phoenix1I personly have been on Nardil and Parnate and i think 5-6 hours is pretty good for a person on Nardil. Adding a bunch of other meds may do more harm than good. I would try to get used to the 5-6 hrs. Just my opinion..Good Luck!
