Since short-acting benzos produced excessive depression and rebound stimulation the next day, I asked my psychiatrist if I could try Prazosin for sleep. He wasn't entirely comfortable prescribing it, since he'd never heard of it before, but gave me clonidine instead. I should thank this board, since I came up with the idea based on Chairman_MAO's recommendation.
I've actually found that 15mg of Valium at night curbs the excessive irritability and overstimulation I experience on Parnate, but also cancels out any anti-ADHD benefits, so it's not ideal..
Given clonidine has a shorter half-life, I'm hoping it might allow me to reach a higher dose of Parnate, as insomnia is the biggest obstruction right now.
