do you exercise Sunbath?
i decided to give Parnate another shot after all; i had dropped my dose down to 20mg, in order to taper off the drug, but the anxiety was too severe, so i came back up to 30mg, which is a lot calming. i also get that foggy/zombie feeling you describe - you're right it doesn't feel like normal brain fog, in that my senses feel quite clear, but then when i try concentrate or focus, i can't at all.
i also went away with some friends and could barely speak the whole trip. i have no desire to talk to others.
anyway, i mention exercise because if i wanted to i could sleep all day on Parnate, but as soon as i force myself to exercise, it seems to cover me til night.
i wish we had some better sleep aids like Trazodone available here. i'm going to try a low-dose TCA. if i still can't sleep, then at least i know i gave it my best shot on the drug.
