I've had this annoying problem for years. Sometimes it's better, sometimes not. For the most part though I never wake up feeling refreshed. I don't sleep long enough (not much on at 3 or 4 am either) or I don't sleep soundly. I have tried Seroquel in the past...even a half a pill of that knocked me out for over 24 hours. That kind of scared me so fast forward to now. I guess I'm getting older and the lack of sleep takes it's toll more than it did years ago.
I have recently added Abilify to my meds and I love the effects (and lack of bad effects) but I think it might make my sleep problems slightly worse...hard to tell. So far doc has tried Rozerem ... no help there at all, Restoril...again no help, tired as all get out but not sleeping, Ambien...good except I still wake up at 3 or 4. I have to wait one more week to get a script for Ambien CR as my prescription plan has a step program. I am hoping that will be my answer but...any input from sleeping aid users out there as to what the next thing I could try would be? I want something that will help keep me asleep but not leave me in a coma the next day.
