> You did not say how you slept before starting Parnate. How did you sleep?Well to be honest I probably slept as much before as I did after, but before it was more like, "I cannot get out of bed and face another day." Then I just laid in bed and basically bored myself back to sleep for about 10-12 hours a day. But once I got up I would be up until late at night. After Parnate, I still sleep in but also get bone-weary and blood-tired (as they say) every early afternoon - usually only a few hours after being up - and I would nap until evening. That was probably more information than you were looking for, but thanks for asking!
Actually, surprisingly enough I seem to be doing a little better. I'm not sure if it's the Parnate, which I started titrating down because my blood pressure skyrocketed and stayed there, or the Abilify I started, but I'm guessing the latter or maybe a little of both. Now that Parnate seems to be working at least a little I have to figure out whether it's worth the side effects...
Anyway, thanks for your response!
