I also have found Parnate to be very sedating. After several different augmentation attempts, my doctor prescribed Dexedrine to counteract the sleepiness. It worked well & the correct dose didn't make me feel buzzy or anything. Then I moved to a new state, and new Pdoc was upset at the combination of Parnate & dexedrine (even though I gave him copies of information from this site and others showing the legitimacy of this combination), so he made me quit the dexedrine & I'm back to drowsy. One note if your doctor lets you try it--for some reason the long-acting spansules didn't work, I had to take the shorter-acting tablets. Apparently Ritalin also works for some, although it didn't for me.
