> im on 70mg parnate and do agree, it's very sleep disrupting. my problem is middle of the night/early morning awakening, and not being able to fall back asleep.

SO ya I would say im very very sleep resistant. sleep can always come another day 4 me. Lately ive been taking 50 - 150mg of seroquel with 50 - 75mg's of trazodone with 7.5 milligrams of zopiclone and some nights 2 mg's of clonazepam.. I manipulate This cocktail almost every night depending how I feel or if ive drunk alcohol.. so some times its more or less of one or the other lol, Even with all of that I still sleep very lightly and have very vivid dreams/nightmares.
I just upped Parnate to 70 mg's on Dec 9th.
-They say I have Bipolar2
-They say I get depressed and Manic
-I say I have social phobia with agoraphobia and panic.
Parnate is pretty much one of my last resorts here as ive gone down the path of all the other AD's.
Im curious to know how Parnate is working for you and (only if you want to say) what are you on Parnate for.
Thanks for your responce, its good to see how others are doing with sleep management so I can get a good picture of med induced insomnia, Its such a problem in my life, but not big enough to stop parnate.
