> Hey, wow

> isn't that a great improvement? I mean despite sleeping without a sleep aid on Parnate..if it was me I'd also already grown partly tolerant to the benzo sleep aids and I'd have some rebound insomnia when I suddenly stopped taking them. And you slept for 3 hours without any benzo just on Parnate?
> Of course 3 hours are far too little, but hey maybe you also have some rebound insomnia already and you'd start sleeping on your own very soon?!
> Do you think it's the dosage of Parnate?
> Really nice, would be great if 60mg were even better :)

> I wish you GOOD LUCK!!!It might work finally!!
> Haha then you are free without the need of anything else your pdoc might want to "offer" you :)

> Please keep me updated!!

> I'm sleeping fine with my 200mg trazodone.. thnx for your concern!
> I'd also like to get rid of the Trazodone one day as it's making me a little bit foggy during the day which I noticed when I was NOT on Parnate.. Now Parnate seems to take care of that which is great! But I'm sure I'd be even clearer in my mind when I didn't need the Trazodone.
> The problem for me is that I've become somewhat dependent on it. Even before Parnate I had to take my 150mg dose I was taking since 3 years. When I only reduced by 12,5mg I would have great trouble sleeping (waking after only a 2-3 hours without the possibility to fall asleep again).
> I plan trying to reduce Trazodone again when I'm completely stable on Parnate (and then in even smaller decrements.. 3years are a far too long time).

> So.. good luck that you might sleep even better tonight!! Keeping all fingers crossed :)thanks for your well wishes. last night i fell asleep at about 5am, and slept - in drips and drabs - until midday. i guess that means Parnate might have altered my sleep cycle. i'll give it a few more nights and see how i fare. i only spent a week at 50mg, so maybe with some adjustment i'd eventually sleep like i do now on 40mg. you're also right about rebound insomnia; i hadn't really taken that into account.
