I was in a virtually catatonic depression when I started on parnate. Hadn't gotten out of bed in weeks, hadn't showered, washed my hair, wasn't eating. Parnate pulled me right out of that == very quickly, 48 hours. Two years later, I still have problems with depression, but I haven't been sleeping like I did before parnate.
It did cause insomnia, very bad. I take trazadone and lorazapem. My p-doc wants me to stop the lorazapem (I am taking higher and higher doses, it doesn't keep me asleep all night) and switch to very low dose seroquel. Last night I took 25mg seroquel and slept all night. So the insomnia is manageable.
No weight gain with parnate. In fact I have finally lost the weight I gained from taking atypical antipsychotics.
