Have any of you experienced intense, unpredictable periods of drowsiness on these meds? If so, any advice/explanations? These are the only two meds that have worked for me and they work great, putting aside the bouts of narcolepsy. I will very much appreciate any comments. Thanks, Luke.

Luke,
I have taken Parnate on and off for 13 years (mostly on). I took Nardil for about a year. I have never that problem with Parnate. However, I had it all the time with Nardil. I would fall asleep in movies, plays, and virtually any other place where I had a comfortable chair. It was quite embarrassing at times. Additionally, I didn't find it nearly as efficacious as Parnate. Stay on Parnate and you should do fine.
Mike

Its common these days to add stimulants to MAOIs (Dr. Bob's Tips has a section on that), but still unorthodox. Provigil would be a good addition.
