> To help with the sleep, I would not recommend taking benzodiazepines. A better option might be Ambien or Sonata. I've often taken these for periods of months (a year one time), and gone off cold turkey with absolutely no withdrawawl. These are pretty remarkable drugs, and very effective. Have you tried them?

Have never tried them, and I thought that they were contraindicated with MAOIs. I'd like to know for sure about that because I'd be willing to try either one in the future, if it's safe with Parnate. Maybe you know about it.

I think I recall seeing your posts about that. . .it's extremely unusual to have hypertensive crises that aren't food induced. Well. . I'm happy that you've found peace with Nardil.
