I was unbelieveably sleepy on Parnate.
I stayed on it for a couple of years until I had another SE--but in retrospect, I was semi-unconscious for that time, even on very large dose. The sleepiness was better at the higher doses, but it never got to the point where I was functioning at even half of normal.
But it may get better for you.
I took it in three doses, am, early pm, late afternoon.
It may have been that I wasn't getting any deep sleep, and was staying in REM sleep too much. I seemed to have these endlessly long multiple dreams every night. Although that's supposed to be the exact opposite of the reaction to MAOIs.
