For me, fatigue was never an issue. Parnate made me speedy, like I had just had two cups of coffee. Couldn't sleep and still need sleep meds after two-and-a-half years. But everyone's different, so maybe someone else will speak up who's experienced what you are experiencing.
The orthostatic hypotension got better and better. By a few months, I only had it at night and in the morning when I rose from a lying position. Eventually (can't recall how long -- several months, maybe) that went away.
A couple of months ago, I couldn't remember if I took my morning dose or not (take 20mg in AM, 10mg in afternoon) and took a dose just in case. I must have taken a double dose, because I had orthostatic hypotension again, which I hadn't had in a long time. It went away by the end of the day.
