> The only thing I know is that I can't take my last dose of Parnate later than around 2:00pm or I'm guaranteed not to sleep. The afternoon fatigue is so intense, but I haven't figured it out yet, either.

I'm only on 20mg. Was taking 10mg/5mg/5mg. Am going to try 15mg/5mg. My doc thinks it's possible that i'll get more dopamine action in the a.m. if i take more of my dose in the a.m.--although to tell you the truth, it sounded more like a wild guess than a suggestion based on acutal science. i guess it's worth a shot.
