I don't think the presence of Parnate changes the dosage/response to the nortriptyine. Perhaps you can go to 50mg first and then get a blood level. You have too much at stake to remain inadequately treated by a subtherapeutic dose of nortriptyline.

I upped the Nortrip. to 50mg, a month or so ago and it made me tired, but I didn't have much Provigil then. I'll try it again now. Should I take the additional 25mg at night with the other 25mg Nortrip? That appeals to me because of it helping me sleep. But if some other time has a better chance of improvement I'll do that. And I'll give it five or more days this time. But I have to say, I'm feeling pretty darn good right now!So what time of day/night do you think?
Thanks again, Scott, for you continued help!!
