> i also spoke to dr. ken gillman on skype last night. He said that the usual dose on parnate is 30-50 mg and he recommends trazodone for sleep. Is anyone using trazodone as a sleeping medication with maois?
> Ive been useing a low dose of seroxat, and also seroquel, but am pretty sleepy and tired during the day.I've used Traz in the past, but it gives me a very unpleasant drugged feeling. I'm lucky that I'm really sensitive to the histamine meds and 50mg of diphenhydramine hydrochloride(Benadryl) usually knocks me right out. I also usually use my .5mg of clonazepam at night.
The insomnia is one side effect of Nardil that has not gone away over the years. I have always had to treat it somehow. Parnate is a lot more stimulating than Nardil and the insomnia may have to be treated more aggressively.
Be Well,
