I had terrible insomnia from parnate, but no depression. I really needed to sleep. My p-doc gave me 8mg of perphenazine and 100 mg of seroquel. (Ativan wasn't working for me. Like you, I was taking huge doses and still staying awake all night.)

Perphenazine and seroquel are both APs and I know you don't want to take APs, but why not? They're not addictive, have few side effects in low doses. I'm not psychotic, but I regard these as adjuncts to the parnate. I wouldn't be able to stay on the parnate if it were not for the APs to control the insomnia and I want to stay on the parnate because it is the only thing that controls my severe depression and suicidal ideation.

So maybe you can give an AP a try. It might be just what you need. Rxlist recommends phenazines to control parnate-induced insomnia.
