> Linkadge>Thanks for your reply. I wasn't sure whether it was the MAO inhibition causing the insomnia/daytime fatigue, or something related to the immediate action of each dose. I know Parnate is famous for causing insomnia, but I didn't know whether other MAOIs like Nardil would have the same effect, or if it was just related to Parnate being especially activating. Maybe I'll just accept the new cycle and embrace a midday nap...
