> The positive of the fatigue has been greatly reduced anxiety, which is the only reason I am taking Nardil. I am so tired I don't feel anxious nearly as much. I dont feel depressed either. I just feel tired.

Not this time and not sure why.Well it's ony day 7 or 8 of the Parnate and I'm still only on 20 mgs, but I slept really great last night. So that's either b/c the med isn't working at all, I'm on too low a dose for the insomnia to start to become a problem, or I need to be on a higher dose for the theraputic effect to kick in (or all three).
But I had a date last night, and I felt like a nervous teenager for most of the time. So the med is obviously not working (yet). When I was on Nardil about a year ago, I felt so relaxed during these social encounters, it was almost like having had 6 or 7 cocktails withtout ever being drunk. And I don't drink.
So obviously, I'm anxious to get the same effect. I'll keep ya'll posted...
