> I do, though I may be okay without it. The parnate insomnia was awful, as Maxine has experienced. I went 72 hours without sleep at one point. I'm an insomniac from way back and hate it. Before I went on parnate, I took 150mg of trazadone every night, whether I needed it or not. Since trazadone is contraindicated with Parnate, I went to seroquel instead. I don't have any ill effects from it. It doesn't make me gain weight. I feel rested and alert in the mornings.

> I posted this about parnate because I had tried everything -- including ECT -- for severe suicidal depression with pyschotic features and was ready to give up. Parnate has given me my life back.Seroquel works but gives me the worst sinus-headaches. i use imovane, but i have to take a lot, and don't want to end up addicted. i tried going without it and barely slept for five days. unfortunately, the insomnia hasn't passed after 10 weeks, so i'm probably gonna come off. it hasn't helped my depression anyway.
