have had insomnia on all antidepressants I've ever tried, with the exception of Remeron which felt like a glorified Benadryl and did nothing for my depression....(some people seem to do really well on it, though!)My insomnia is so long standing. I thought Nardil could be my ace on the hole.

Today I had some nasty panicky social/general anxiety (complete with butterflies, a palpitation or two - don't you hate anxiety's effect on the peripheral NS?) and some depression today but I paused to remember that a month ago, just being outside by myself for more than a few minutes at a time
would induce a panic attack, and I would have *no* relief. Wait, for more than a few minutes at a time? How about *at all*?
