Cheryl-Lynn,
I guess it depends on your Pdoc. Mine strongly believes it makes the Parnate work much better. He gave me the choice of three different tricyclics. I hate insomnia so I chose Elavil which is pretty sedating. He started me on Elavil at night a couple of months before the Parnate to help me taper down from 450mg/day Wellbutrin and have some AD in my system for the 2 weeks totally off Wellbutrin. I started Parnate 2 months ago. My biggest problem has been bad daytime fatigue, but I haven't had any insomnia. I've now added Provigil and it is helping with the fatigue.
There is a lot of good info about taking Parnate with a tricyclic on the website "psychotropical.com" .
It's been really good for me, but I know some doctors wont do it. Some posters here think it is bad also, but not others. My pdoc says you have to be very careful the WAY you do it. My experience has been good.
