whitmore,
I took doxylamine succinate (generic Unisom) with Nardil when I took it two years ago. It generally helped with the insomnia. Doxylamine succinate is an antihistamine, which I understand is sometimes listed as being contraindicated with Nardil. My pdoc, however, advised me that it was ok to take the two medications together.
I should probably say that even though I had some insomnia on Nardil, it wasn't that bad. I also found the insomnia to be worse on Pfizer's U.S. Nardil than on the Australian Nardil. So, even though the mild hypnotic doxylamine succinate helped me sleep when I was taking Nardil, more severe cases of insomnia might require a more "heavy-duty" sleep medication.
