Hmm, Wellbutrin does increase anxiety and I can't see why it would be any different on Parnate.... maybe worse because Parnate increases both NA and Dopamine and so does Wellbutrin.Happy you are getting the Adrafinil. I really hope it works for you and you don't need anything else!
When you say alcohol withdrawal, what do you mean? Have just suddenly stopped drinking?
> Also increased dose to 50mg yesterday...
Hope that works even better!> So you now that you are on a higher dose you have insomnia at night? When do you take your doses of parnate?Maybe you take it too late? You might need a sleep aid don't you think?
No, infact the insomnia was there before I upped to 40mg. I mean I do sleep, but only for a few hours. I don't want a sleep aid.
Because I have been so erratic about dosing times (because everyday I plan to quit) that I cannot tell if it would be better to take it during the day. The couple of times I have taken it inthe day, It makes me woozy headed.Last night I took 40mg at night (8pm and 3 pm) and I slept from 4- 7am. The hypotensive effect sort of knocks me out. I took a nap in the afternoon (my parents insisted).
Believe it or not , i like sleeping little. I prefer insomnia to oversleeping. At least I feel alive.
I'm just so grateful that I am able to sleeping so little even though I know in the long run it isn't too good. I don't want a sleep aid stronger than what I take which is 2mg clonazepam because anything else would give me a hangover the next day. And you know how much I despise being sleepy ;DMaybe it will settle by itself or once I can tolerate the hypotension, I will take it in the day.
Take Care
Thanks for the concern
Love
