Also, I guess sedation is not uncommon with it. I'm taking 10 mg in the a.m., at noon, and in the evening, so it's all very spread out. It has a short half-life so this makes sense to me.

I've read about the afternoon let-down/nap phenomenon, so maybe it's that.

I had a constant overwhelming fatigue reaction to parnate-- esp. at lower doses. It got better at higher doses-- although I was always very very weary on it.

I used both modafinil and adderal with it, but, although they helped, neither cut through the fatigue that much. I don't know about your insurance (if you have it), but mine stopped covering modafinil, except for narcolepsy-- and it is expensive.

If you're only taking naps and feeling okay between them, it might really work for you at higher levels. 30 mg. is a fairly low dose, so I would definitely not give up.

I hope it does work out for you. I thought the feel of it as a drug was pretty natural, and good,

Jost
