hello gg, chemist here...i suspect you'll get a better read from the nardil contingent on this one, but i wanted to chime in, as i had (as with so many other meds) a brief trial of this one. the key word is ``brief,'' as in the dose range you are headed (and i was at, i.e., 4 mg) i did not feel a thing aside from a tug at my wallet. i was taking parnate at the time - perhaps a little more stimulating than nardil, from what others report - and found that sleep was achieved with a benzo or ambien. i am curious in hindsight, as this med is an anticonvulsant that has, along with others of its class, become increasingly prescribed off-label for adjunctive therapy in mood disorders. i wish you well, and of course, take my notes with the grain of salt they deserve, as it was a brief trial and i hardly gave it a 6 to 8 week window....i wish you well, and do let us know if it does the trick for you....all the best, chemist


> Hi folks.
> I posted earlier about insomnia and agitation when going up to 75 mg of Nardil. I took the dose to 67.5 mg per day, and the restlessness and agitation went away, but I am still waking up every morning at about 3:30 a.m. I finally called my pdoc, and she is starting me on Gabitril, starting at 2 mg and with the ability to go up to 4 mg at night for insomnia.
