> You may have seen my posts recently about my transition off of various medications onto Parnate. Well, I got off the other stuff, and have just begun Parnate. I'm at day 2. I am having a horrible time trying to fall asleep, and I can't feel my sex parts. They've gone numb.

>Hi PhoenixGirl,
You are on the good stuff now, stick with it. I would recommend Remeron or Doxepin as the ideal sleep aids to take with Parnate. Doxepin will lower your BP, while Remeron won't are the biggest differences between the two.
Cheers,
