Hi Lauren. I had the insomnia at first too, but at the time I wasn't feeling tired during the day, I actually felt energetic. That has gone with time tho. I wanted to try lunesta. Very small amounts of trazodone is what I used (12.5mg was plenty), which allowed me to fall asleep quickly and have a deep sleep. Minor headache in the morning, but I've always gotten that with trazodone. Trazodone is suppose to be contradicted with parnate, but thats a conservative recommendation I think.
http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/MAOIs-+-benzodiazepines.html --> here is where they discuss the use of maois with benzos. (my mistake, Dr.bob did not take part in the discussion).
Thanks for the response Lauren.

> I have been on 30mg Parnate for around 3 weeks and am having horrible insomnia and resulting fatigue. The only thing that has ever really helped me to sleep was 1-2mg Klonopin, which is not working so well right now, maybe because of what was mentioned in the previous posts. I'm about to try Lunesta (Ambien doesn't work unless I take more than my doctor recommends and leaves me a zombie the next day). Would you please refer me to where Dr. Bob discussed the use of Parnate and benzos? Thanks, Lauren
