Hi AdamCanada,
I'm afraid that in the beginning of treatment you are going to have to deal with some insomnia. My PDoc would probably give me something but I did well enough on the 6mg melatonin plus 1mg Klonopin. I Find also that if I am strict about my schedule my body will get used to that. Just know that in time yours will too. As for augmentations, we talked about lithium and lamictal I believe, but you'll want to talk to your PDoc first to find out when you'll get the most benefit from whatever you choose. Actually you CAN have protien shakes, but they need to be Whey, NOT SOY. Just check the ingredients carefully, ask if you're not sure. I drink the Whey but some ARE mixed with Soy so check 1st. Also, you can have coffee. They took that off the NO list. Best advice I can give you is patience. This isn't a quick fix. So do what you think is best for your sleep, but if you have insomnia, you will have it along with most others starting Parnate! I'm at 3 months+ and if I want to I can fall asleep at 7:30pm! Yours will mellow out too.
