I have a little bit of trouble falling asleep and have frequent early morning awakenings. This despite my usual bedtime dose of 75 mg of semi-sedating Nortriptyline (which I think I need to discontinue because of sexual side effects) plus an additional 25 mg of diphenhydramine.
Plus I'm getting a bit of mid-afternoon fatigue where I sometimes have to struggle to keep my head up. I think I'm going to try removing the patch at night and see if that helps any.
