I'm taking 100mg of Parnate as a single dose first thing in the morning. This seems to work best for my mood throughout the day and gets it as far away from sleep time as possible. I've tried going down to 90mg and my depression gets much worse. The nortriptyline might be making me worse (see later post). In my mind, I will deal with the sleep crap to keep my Parnate. It's literally the only reason I'm alive. The lunesta seems to work better than the ambien (with the ambien even with the whole arsenal I couldn't sleep and with lunesta last night I went right off to sleep), so I'm going to start out tonight with just the lunesta and the perphenazine and see if those two are enough alone, as I think they are the most active of the combo. I can't go off the perphenazine since it would then not work if I needed it in the future (that nasty little habit my brain has on letting drugs only work once and cease to work if d/c and restrarted). That sucks since I think the perphenazine worsens my depression. Anyway, I've tried everything I can think of. Let me know if you have ideas I may have missed.
