Any stim will help to curb your appetite, and I know from personal experience how MAOIs can cause weight gain, but it was my understanding that Parnate was not as bad in that department, but then I have never personally tried it. And it's kinda weird that you get sedated on Parnate, it's supposed to be activating. But then, all our brains are different. Hell, my beloved Nardil that used to help *so* much with my anxiety, turned on me and made me anxious. Now that is REALLY weird.

It does sound like you need some kind of stim, but ask your pdoc and be very careful. You are on a damn high dose of Parnate, plus you take a TCA too. If you could lower your dose of Parnate, or if you could take something else for sleep it would be a lot safer to add a stim. And in addition to helping with your fatigue, a stim would augment your MAOI for your depression, so you would not need to worry about stopping the doxepin very much. Whatever you decide I wish you luck.

Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
