> It sounds as though you've increased the dose very fast to be on 60mg in the fifth week. I'm wondering if this is the reason why insomnia has been so stubborn? Your brain needs time to adjust - a few weeks at least - between large dose increases, so waiting it out could help, as could lowering the dose for a week or two. I took 4mg Klonopin with Parnate and was taking 80-120mg, but I had no problems with insomnia. Have you tried Klonopin?

Thanks for your speedy reply.I've been on Parnate for about 11 weeks and have been at 60 mg for 5 weeks (now that I check my calendar).
My doc just suggested last monday that I take 30 mg at 7 pm and 30 mg at 10+ pm. This has helped a lot with the daytime fatigue, but has no doubt made the insomnia worse. They're both equally oppressive it seems.
