Well, I've been on it for 6 weeks now and I can't say it's doing anything really. I've only been taking 30 mgs for a week, so I guess I need to give that more time (I always have to increase it slowly). The anxiety that I did have in the beginning is gone, but the insomnia is still there and has gotten worse since I went up to 30 mgs. I think I average about 4-5 hours a night if I'm lucky. I think I'm going to try taking the second dose around 5 and see if that helps. Right now I'm taking it at bedtime. With Nardil, the higher I went the worse the side effects became. By the time I got to 60 mgs I was having palpitations and major anxiety. Marplan is nothing like that. My only real complaint is the insomnia.
And, my doctor wants me to take lamictal also, but so far I haven't. I prefer to try one medication at a time so I know which drug is doing what to me.
Are you thinking about trying it?
