> Welcome to babble see your're new. Great knowledge here. Lots of choices for sleep meds they seem to affect everyone differently and at different time at least for me. Now on low dose valium, xanax. A few years ago was on chloral hydrate with the benzos no more. Seems like benzos are acting in reverse for me now so also weaning down now from 20mg of valium and .5 xanax to 12.5 valium and same still of xanax. Also take my luvox low dose but increasing it at night it potentiates effects of valium and xanax. Have also taken lunesta with benzos when sleep really bad. So for me chemistry keeps changing. Good luck in you Quest. How long have you been on the parnate? Love Phillipa

I guess Ive been on Parnate for 10 weeks, it kicked in at 60mg's/ day ( I have BP2 super rapid cycling and I think Social Phobia. But the doctor just thinks its anxiety from being bipolar.. Hard to know what they mean because I know I have SP and its very very bad since I was like 4 but being Bipolar made it hard to adress because I hit some extreamly high manias where I was a social butterfly). ME too, My benzo days are over for now, Im weaning off my final .75mg/day of clonazepam now. before that it was xanax and ativan(ativan seems really weak to me). I was taking 2mg zanax for a year, then switched to 2mg klonopin for a year. no effect anymore so i better get off before they reverse on me too. hopefully in the future i can use one as an as need basis..
Luvox! Ill really have to ask you about that in another post. If Parnate quits on me one day Luvox is my next option. I keep hearing better and better things about it.. anyway ttyl Phillipa
ps. my real name is Philippe lol
