That lazy feeling which may or may not be accompanied with "brain fog" early in treatment with Parnate is not so uncommon. It should disappear.

It is true that untreated insomnia can persist for months when taking Parnate. I would push the dosage despite your needing to treat the insomnia. If you can establish that Parnate works well for you, the potential for persistent insomnia might not seem like such a great sacrifice. It has been my observation that people who are accommodated to Parnate can have their insomnia abate significantly. It might take 6 months to a year, but it does happen. I no longer respond to MAOI + TCA combinations in a way that produces insomnia. Parnate monotherapy never produced insomnia, but then again, I never responded well to it.

What does all of this mean? I guess you have no better choice but to take one day at a time, and to treat the insomnia aggressively should it be necessary.
