In reply to *one* more Parnate question b4 appt tomorrow, posted by g_g_g_unit on August 30, 2009, at 1:32:15
> sorry, i realise Parnate is the topic du jour lately, but i have one more question about the drug before i commit to making a case for it - namely, is there a chance i would be required to remain on a sleep med indefinitely while taking it, or do higher doses permit uninhibited restful sleep? i have tremendous difficulty with sleeping - ever since messing with meds, truth be told - and am worried about putting my body through a state of reduced sleep once again. these days, i simply would not fall sleep at a normal hour without melatonin.

> on nardil, i grew tolerant to benzo's within 3-4 days, and, refusing to raise the doses, was left in a sleep-deprived state for 17 weeks which was far more psychologically taxing than being off the drug. i did not want to take Seroquel - i refuse to be on AP's unnecessarily - so had to come off the drug.

> if there's a chance the insomnia would abate, then im willing to try push through and remain on it. but im a lil scaredGive parnate a chance. The potential bliss of remission may await you. Remember you can always stop a drug if sides are bad.
