Hi peanut,
Been there with Parnate. How long has this been going on? What dose?
For a time its a big problem with Parnate, but it will subside. I urge you to:
1. See your pdoc right away (don't remember what he knows your on, but lay it on thick and make sure whatever you get is awesome, and isn't contraindicated with all the other meds, hopefully you'll be able to ditch a couple few.
2. Exercise, while exhausting, I believe can keep some people up at night, especially if done in the evening. And on Parnate.
3. I know this sounds lame, but it saved me. Melatonin, 6-10mg, I think it comes with thiamine. I liked it cause if I woke during the night, I could redose and fall back to sleep. Check that out with your doc though.
4. Recheck each med and make sure your at optimal dose for inducing sleep.
I feel your pain, but it will pass.
