Sorry to hear you're experiencing depression again, mate. So, it looks like you're no longer the Nardil Champ since you are now taking Parnate.
Have you considered taking Lexapro? I switched to Lex when I quit Nardil because of intense insomnia. It took Lex 45 days to kick in and I was practically bedridden for the first 2 to 3 weeks from intense fatigueness that I just wanted to sleep. However, 45 days later, I was unipolar depression free. Currently 3 months later, I am still depression free. Yes! Give Lexapro a try if all else fails, mate.
