> I've had terrible insomnia with parnate, literally 48-72 hours without sleep. I switched my dose to 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. It hasn't really made a difference, since the drug stays in your system and affects the MAOIs however often you take it. I don't experience any daytime sleepiness though. Since I started trazadone and lorazapem, I have slept like a baby every night. Even when I wasn't sleeping, I didn't get tired during the day. I felt like I was on amphetamines.

Thanks for replying. I'm lucky enough to get some sleep each night so far, but a decent night sleep is getting 4 uninterrupted hours. I hadn't wanted to add a med for sleep, but my doctor offered Trazadone, so maybe if things don't improve I'll give it a try.
