Hi, I took another MAOI(Parnate) for a year and I felt exactly the same way. The reason I think this happens is because MAOI's completely wipe out your ability to get REM sleep. Do you often feel like you are so tired at the end of the day that you can't even see straight? My vision would get blurry after 6 PM or so because I was so mentally and physically exhausted. Towards the end of my Parnate trial I was so completely exhausted that I just couldn't think straight and I was sluing my speech. The best thing I ever did was get off of it. I read about GLYX a while back, but haven't heard anything since. If I had to guess, I think we are a couple years away from GLYX or another ketamine-based drug from hitting the market. I wish there were better answers for deperession and insomnia for us, but there just aren't. At least we werent't born during our grandparent's generation. We would have really been in trouble then. My grandma suffered with the worst insomnia and depression her whole life. It was awful to watch.
