Darius,
I take it around 8am, 11, 2, and 5. Splitting the dose helped so much that now I can run up my stairs without feeling faint. I do get tired in the afternoon, but I don't know if that's the medication or me being a stay at home mom to a 3 1/2 year old. Thank goodness for naps. And no, even with a nap and about 8 hours of sleep do I have insomnia. Marplan has not affected my appetite in any way. Maybe lessened it a bit if anything. And no to the last two questions.
The one thing I have to say is that even though I haven't felt any change on this drug, the side effects are nothing compared to what I went through on Nardil. I was miserable on 45 mgs. I don't think I even made it to 12 weeks. And even though this hasn't helped yet, I'm not quitting now. I remember when I took Imipramine back in the late 90's, I needed 400 mgs before it kicked in. And when it did, it really did. I've learned you have to be patient even though you're dying for it to help you.
Hope this helped a bit.
Brooke
