Carlene,
I take Nardil (another MAOI) and am also too hyper to fall asleep at night. My doctor prescribed 1 mg Xanax which I take about a half hour before I'm ready to go to bed, and I go out like a light! Since Xanax is a fast-in/fast-out drug, I have no problem with grogginess in the morning. It's been a great help.
How long have you been taking Parnate? I've taken Nardil before, and I found that after awhile I didn't need medicinal help to fall asleep, though I can't promise that will happen for you (or for me this time - it's always a wait-and-see.)
Good luck...I know how awful it is to be awake at night when the rest of the world is asleep.
