Fatigue combined with insomnia. What a cruel trick to play on me.

I find your post title offensive.

It does seem cruel doesn't it? Did the same to me, but now that I have been at 80mgs for 6 weeks now I no longer get the fatigue. Insomnia is still a problem and I use trazadone to help with that.
Hope you find some relief soon.

Max-
How many weeks did it take for fatigue to stop? Did the fatigue just clear up all of a sudden or did you do something about it? Also, did taking trazodone for insomnia help with fatigue during the day? I can deal with the insomnia if I have too, but this fatigue is ruining my day.

Hi TM
Everytime I increased the dosage the tiredness lasted about 2 weeks or so .... just in time to up the dosage again. :-) Now I have the lamictal doing the same thing. Sigh.
The trazadone doesn't help the fatigue, in fact it probably makes you feel worse. But going without sleep will drive you crazy.
Maybe your doctor can add one of the those meds that are used for narcolepsy (can't think of any names) until your body gets used to the Parnate.
I am not working right now (looking very hard though) so I had the luxury of lying down when I couldn't stand up any more. I don't know what I would have done if I had been working.
I hope you find some sort of remedy that works for you. Talk to your doctor.

Try taking Wellbutrin or Provigil--they help out immensely.Rick
