Just a suggestion on insomnia treatment for MAOI's. I have been on Emsam 9 (MG)for about 2 years. It has been a wonder drug for me for deep depression. BIG problem is insomnia! I tried LOTS of meds for insomnia. Only trazadone worked but made me feel like crap. So for a long time I've been surviving on 3 or 4 hrs sleep. And then a daytime crash of overwhelming sleepiness.
Now I have found a Very effective treatment for me for insomnia specifically neurontin. I'm very sensitive to it and high doses make me very loopy and uncoordinated. I now take 125 mg in the evening and am able to sleep a good 7 hours. I Have been taking this for 2 weeks and have not told my PDOC about it.My other meds are:
150 mg Lamictal
2 mg clonazapam
(perhaps clonazapam adds to its effect)
