I've never experienced joint stiffness, but it does cause me some constipation and it does cause sleepiness for me. I am now up to 60 mg taken 30 mg at a time twice a day.
I cannot take it past mid-afternoon or I will be awake all night. One thing I did try and it has helped is that I take my Parnate without any other meds. I used to take Lisinopril for my blood pressure with my first dose of Parnate and literally had to nap in my office several hours later. I think the combo made me even more tired. Now that I take them separately, I don't get nearly as tired. So, if you are taking it at the same time as another med, try to stop that and see if you notice improvements.
