Maybe Provigil or Adrafinil then?

Wow.

Damn. 60-80mg is ideal.

> Deprenyl 5-10mg (Don't tell the doc!)

I totally understand. Without all of the crap I take, I doubt I could function well enough to maintain my independence.

Yup.

I hope Nardil treats you differently. Insomnia with an MAOI is a good sign for me. When Nardil worked for me, it made me feel more alive inside than did Parnate. However, it was a combination of Parnate + desipramine that gave me my longest period of remission. Whatever you do, don't mix Parnate with a potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor like an SSRI, Effexor, Cymbalta, or Anafranil. A severe serotonin syndrome reaction is almost guaranteed, and can be dangerous. I once tried to test the waters with Parnate by taking a single 12.5mg dose of Effexor. I experienced delirium and muscle rigidity. Fortunately, it resolved quickly.
