The afternoon severe fatigue is common with Parnate and all the MAOIs, I think. I learned this earlier this year or last yr. here on PsychoBabble. A poster here said it's called the Parnate Pause or the Nardil Nod. (I don't know a clever name for it in EMSAM or Marplan, but I think it would be fitting if someone came up with some.) I had the phenomenon of that plus insomnia at night (also very common w/ any of the MAOIs, from what I've read on this board). I quote and cite an article that includes discussion of this:

Note -- that article states that attempts to alter the impaired time of sleepiness by changing time of day/night that the MAOI is taken generally don't work.
