> Hi there,

> I have just come off of Escitalopram after a bad reaction and I am considering asking my GP if I can go back to taking Parnate. I have taken it before on two occassion each for between six and seven months. The main problems I suffered from were insomnia and losing too much weight (although initially the weight loss was helpful as I had put on 56 pounds from 6 years of SSRI use) , so I was thinking of adding in Mirtazapine (Remeron / Zispin). Has anyone had any experience with this combination or found any other drugs to help with Parante induced insomnia in particular.

I have used it,parnate seems most active within the few hours taking it,which can make for a possably serious situation if a interacting food,med etc is ingested at that time.

However because of this,id assume bedtime would be quite a few hours past your last parnate dose,whereas taking remeron shouldent have any bad interaction,and the parnate taken earlier will not prevent remerons sedative properties to go into play,i always went into a hybersleep with any dose of remeron.

I personaly dident have any interaction with it what so ever,in fact the parnate dose in morning helped me come out of the remeron fog which felt like i was on some heavy drugs and could never come out of,parnate started to work and my eyes would open,no head strain,or feeling of a possable interaction at all.

I personaly did not like the sleep remeron provided,it was zombie like,and i could not tolerate it,but from my experieance and mine only of course,i can say for me i did not notice any interaction,and did not have any fear of using the combo.

Melatonin,however i did not feel worked with parnate,i did feel with that,a minor i guess would be called serontion syndrome,i felt something,not particulary bad,just enough to not feel comfortable enough to use it.
