> Thanks for starting the thread Scott. I've just finished 4 weeks on Parnate 30mg/d + small amounts of nortriptyline when I think about it. I'm sleepy this morning but yesterday wasn't too bad. So it seems to be one day bad one day good as far as sleepiness is concerned. A psychpharmacologist I know favours doxepin over nortriptylene
> FredA friend of mine did reasonably well on a combination of Nardil and doxepin (Sinequan). Doxepin tends to be sedating, presumably because it is such a powerful antihistamine. The stuff works, though. Doxepin is one of the few tricyclics I haven't tried, so I cannot attest to the degree to which the sedation dissipates.
