In reply to Marplan has kicked in--best meds for MAOI-insomnia? (SLS?), posted by zonked on June 12, 2010, at 9:40:17
> Ah, but now I have the MAOI-insomnia. Ever since increasing Marplan to 60, I have slept but not restfully and my temazepam 30 no longer does the trick.

> Here's what I *won't* take: trazodone or antipsychotics. Other than those, I'm open to suggestions!Hi Zonked,
I have used diphenhydramine HCL(Benadryl) a lot for Nardil induced insomnia. I am very sensitive to histamine blockers and the stuff usually knocks me right out. I know what you mean about the TRAZ - really gives me a drugged feeling and a morning hangover. I have used micro doses of Seroquel(12.5mg) which really just acts as a histamine blocker at this dosage.Not everyone reacts to the antihistamines like I do. They just wire my mom out. But I'm lucky that I can use them fairly consistently as a sleep aid.
Good Luck with the Marplan,
Jedi
