> im on 40mg parnate and it stopped working after I reduced it. 2.5mg of olanzapine miraculously got it working again. I dont know if its the synergy between the meds. But stupidly, I then reduced the olanzapine ever so slightly, and that was a huge mistake,because the whole mix now does not work and I dont know what to do. Ive gone back on the 2.5 mg olanzapine but its not working. Is it only me, who is so sensitive to changes in doses of meds ? Any ideas gratefully received. At the time olanzapine was a miracle - but it didnt make me sleep.Parnate is different to nardil, because of the insomnia it causes. At the moment Im taking 40 mg parnate and 2.5 mg olanzapine.
>You can try increasing the olanzapine to 5 mg, which might help sleep. Another drug you can try for sleep is cyproheptadine (Periactin).
To potentiate the tranylcypromine (Parnate), you can try a higher dose, or augmentation with lithium and/or stimulants.
