>Is this a cause for a call to your pdoc for a new sleep med. I do know insomnia. Think it's the cause of the apathy Phillipa
> A lot of people on Nardil have trouble sleeping. I had to double my nightly med cocktail when I was on it. Your apathy could be from sleep deprivation. I took 50 mg. seroquel, .05 clonazapam and 7.5 zopiclone and that seemed to do the trick.
my gp is not cooperative when it comes to sleep meds...he has no issue with giving a rx for ad's (including maois) just dont talk to him about benzo's or pseudobenzo's for sleep..."well ya, you dont want to get involved in sleeping pills". His opinion is that if you are taking this med primarily for anxiety and you cant sleep then, dear myco, you are on the wrong med. I'm semi affraid to leave this guy and go out on the gp hunt again as I will (or am affraid to) run across a gp who will say 'ya im not comfy with maois therefor i dont want to renew your script from your old dr...please try this ssri' or something like this.
God im exhausted lolthnx
