I was quite litterally sleeping for 2 hours (waking up every 10-20 mins), getting so rest from it, and then getting up for 2-3 hours, then alternating back and forth like that for days. It was hell!I had insomnia early in my Nardil experience, and at 75 mg it was unbearable and also included akathisia. I found that the early awakening eventually passed, although I still have sleep problems. I manage that with ambien.
And jedi, I've had my atypical depression return every time I try to lower my dose to 45 mg or less. That alone is depressing, but it does show me that Nardil really is helping still. And my pdoc has agreed to Provigil for me. It takes away the late afternoon naps I used to crave all the time. And I've had no ill effects from combining the two (along with Lamictal for any residual depression) except if I get too much caffeine.
