I recently started parnate again after being off it for two years. I got severely depressed and ended up in the hospital again (had been hospital free for four years). The problem with parnate is the sleep disturbance. I generally fall asleep okay around 11-11:30, but I am awake at 3:30-4 and can't get back down again.
The funny thing about parnate is that I am not tired during the day. My normal sleep has gone from 8-9 hours to 4-5 hours and I feel fine. I just don't like being awake when the world is sleeping and there's nothing to do (of course, this morning, I can start binge-watching Orange is the New Black, 3rd season).
In the past when I took parnate, I also took a benzo for sleep. But I don't rally want to go there again and, as I said, I'm not unrested.
Has anyone had this issue on parnate and did anything help?
