In reply to Guys, I'm in BIG trouble. PLEASE help, posted by ace on April 27, 2003, at 19:57:12
You asked - what should you do for your insomnia (which hopefully is transitory until you get on the Anafranil, which I know also will help you sleep!) -- you mentioned Zyprexa - well, I was on that briefly, it did sedate me a few times, but I kept having to up the dose and along with it my appetite upped. A person can gain substantial weight rapidly from that.
What about Seroquel? That is the only non-benzo I have found that really helps me sleep. I only need 100mg/night, but I know people taking 300, 600 even 900!! Those doses would have me out cold on the floor.
I'm only suggesting Seroquel because it has no affect on appetite (that I know of) and is more sedating than Zyprexa.
I can understand your feelings of worry and impatience with getting on the Anafranil. Please know that it is around the corner for you and hopefully will bring you some much needed relief.
Good luck & best wishes 2 U.
