Yess sir i forget how widespread the net is,i guess i live in my little box.Vivarin is pure caffiene,250 mg,which has many other brands,just make sure it isnt combined with any weird herb or anything as you have a lot of those quick energy packs in stores that just combine a bunch of CRAP.
Also i know insomnia is terrable,but i do personaly think what u take the night before for sleep,how u wake,does effect parnate dose.Elavil is one thing i can vouche for that is pretty effective for insomnia.
I personaly took lunesta,and what happened is it got me to sleep,not easly i might add,BUT perhaps the maoi action prolonged it,but the next day i was a mess,i could not do anything but lay down,i hardly had energy to get up to eat,and would have ate in my bed and just rolled over again if i had the choice,so lunesta was quickly cut.Now i use elavil which seems to be fine.
Maoi affect other drugs,potentiate them,make sure other drugs u take arent doing this,again i can personaly say this of lunesta,it hid parnates benifits.
Another good option is either ambein or klonopin,however to keep both at a min try pouring a portion of l-theanine a natural amino acid under ur tongue,l theanine seems to have a sedating synergy with most gaba meds.Try very small amounts of various gaba meds rather than say popping a second or third ambien or klonopin,hit the brain with different mechanicms.Parnate seems to work ok with ambien for me,but i usualy take half a pill with say a small pieace of neurontion,or l theanine,or even taurine,however luckly ive been sleeping on nothing latly,knock on wood.
As for parnate poopout,unfortunatly this is one of ur better meds,someone just posted that a article stated parnate was considered the best option for major depression,once on parnate,i believe it said to then throw everything but the kitchen sink at it.
Try ur doses in increments,and try various increment times.Good luck
