Just fyi i was overconfident with parnate,began to not respect its danger.So i added olmifon which is in class of its own and a mild stimulant.What i dident know was it was accumlating due to parnate and i went into a total psyhosis.
It lasted a entire week,im still being told things,im 6`1 250 pounds and a lifter,so they had there hands full.
An entire week went buy,people in the hospital when i came out were comming by the dozens in shock i wasnt a vegatable and was a normal person,thats how psyocthic i became.
There was some good out of it,i was added some new meds and now im on parnate and the see saw effect i was having is gone,it simply keeps me totaly leveled ,its amazing,the med is zyprexa or thyroid,i dont know which is doing it but im not worried ive been so active this week i have everyone in amazment.Now there is one thing im shocked the data sheets dont say,shocked that even after calling glaxco and speaking with supposedly an actual tech,no one can answer what i believe to be a very serious question,
If you have a case of parnate induced insomnia and end up never getting to sleep,do you TAKE YOUR MORNING DOSE or do u continue to try and sleep.i believe taking a morning dose on no sleep is a way to become maniac,thats just me though,but i think given the consistent insomnia effect parnate has i think that question should be addressed.
Im out now in semi remission,just wanted to give a heads up.

Insomnia is a very common side-effect of Parnate almost without exception. I think you should continue taking it at the usual times and use another drug to help you sleep. Your doctor should be willing to prescribe something for you as insomnia is so common with Parnate. However having insomnia might be a positive sign that you are responding to it.

I agtee with yout advice however a few things to consider,
You mention find med to take for it for sleep,well you dont quite zero in on how much of a painstaking task that can be for some people.
Also maybe im the only one,but i have gotten into trouble HOSPITAL wise due to taking my morning dose when i was on no sleep,this dose over and instead of continuing sleep meds drove me into a maniac phase.
So my problem is im having trouble finding the meds to stop what i agree is a almost definate side effect of inosmnia,and i also simply can dose the morning after or anytime after a night of no sleep or i could go maniac.but thanks for the reply,without deeper detailed id have given the same advice,
