Michael,
I'm having the same problem on Parnate. I've been at 80mg for one month, thinking that at a higher dosage the stimulant qualities would kick in. They haven't for me. When I was on Nardil, it took a while, but the daytime somnolence did go away. I know GG takes modafinal(Provigil) and she has posted that this seems to help. But it is one more expensive medication, and my insurance really dislikes those. They are even raising the generics on me; I'll probably have to switch to the $4 Wal-Mart specials.

If the daytime tiredness does not go away by my next appointment, I'll probably ask for a micro dose of methylphenidate. I have provided my MD with enough research studies on the subject so that he no longer considers augmentation with a stimulant an automatic death sentence.

I could eliminate the 25mg of Seroquel as suggested by missliz, but it sure is nice to get a whole nights sleep. Maybe I'll try this, but I'm pretty sure it is something in the MAOI, since I have had the same symptoms with Nardil and Parnate.

I really don't want to eliminate my 2mg of clonazepam at this time. I had my MD raise it from 1 to 2mg when I went to Parnate. I believe the GABA receptors have something to do with the social anxiety and Parnate does not affect these like Nardil.
Take care,
Jedi
