In reply to Nardil plus lorazepam, posted by Jadde on May 11, 2020, at 15:46:22
> Havent been sleeping while on Nardil, to the point I think its interfering with Nardils benefit. I had a bad day yesterday, frustrated that Nardil wasnt working as it has in the past. So I had a small stash of Lorazepam and I took it at bedtime. I woke up feeling rested and motivated. All day.

I would consider taking both zolpidem (short half-life for sleep initiation) and lorazepam (longer half-life for sleep maintenance) at bedtime. It is perfectly safe with Nardil (I do it).The most effective treatment that I know of for sleep is a combination of triazolam (Halcion) for sleep initiation and lorazepam (Ativan) for sleep maintenance. You could take temazepam (Restoril) instead of lorazepam if you find it more helpful. I doubt you will find a doctor willing to prescribe triazolam, though.
Another option would be to take quetiapine (Seroquel).
Good luck.
