I should have mentioned in my original post that I currently take MAOI Parnate on a continuing basis to keep depression in remission. To the best of my knowledge,the only "safe" sleeping aids that I can use with Parnate are the benzos,and perhaps Neurontin, which is primarily an analgesic that has sedating side effects.

I live and work overseas and can't speak with my pdoc readily. So that's why I'm using Psychobabble as the next best thing!
