> hey, thanks for your input. I get Parnate through GSK's patient assistance program, so I think going up beyond 60 is likely out of the question, though I'll ask. Just getting my dose increased to 60 was a phenomenal challenge.

ah. I can't think of a way to slow its metaboliztion, unfortunately. I think there was someone here who had good results taking an maoi before bed. i might suggest creatine for mental function when tired as a dirty cheap (buy online bulk powder monohydrate form from somewhere like bulknutrition) and OTC.

might want to change your benzo to alprazolam, i think it is the least sedating.

> From what I've read about augmenting Parnate, it seems like stims are common, TCA's far less so. Just out of curiosity, why would you suggest a TCA first? I don't have insomnia on Parnate, I'm tired most of the time. I don't find it stimulating, either, though I still manage to crash after each dose.

well, less risk of hypertensive reaction, and tcas are more a an 'antidepressant'. usually they are easier to get Rxed with an maoi (or just in general if you aren't 8 yrs old.) you can get them for dirt cheap, i think i pay 8$ a month for my notryptaline.

Bright light (to shut off melatonin production) from the time you wake up is (sort of) free, and might help.

also re: sexual side effects, DA agonists will be hypnotic at lower doses (aka normal doses). though i'm not sure how maoi will change that. da will improve desire and shorten latency, but less help with lack of erection/orgasm which has to to more with 5ht and adrenoceptors.

for me it went away after about a month or so
