> Hi, I am beginning a trial of parnate. For right now I have decided to keep the dose very low, at 2.5mg twice per day, because of the insomnia. My question is, what if any changes would be needed in my diet for the time being?

If you're trying to prevent insomnia, it may be more prudent to take the whole 5mg upon waking, as early in the morning as possible. The later you take a dose the more of an impact it will have on your sleep patterns.

Some others who have taken Parnate may be able to give more input on this matter. I haven't started Parnate yet... I'm waiting 4 weeks for my Prozac to washout. I've read quite a bit about it though and others experiences seem to gel with early morning dosing.

As well, 5mg total may not be enough to cause any significant sleep disruption. I guess you'll have to figure that out once you start it.
