Hi Shelia,
How would you describe your sleep problem? Onset, staying asleep, early awakening?
Insomnia (sleep onset type) has been a problem since childhood. Luckily, I respond to sonata (generic). I've also had success w/ lunesta, but the hangover is strong. For a brief time someone prescribed trazedone (sp.)--ugh. Only when my depression is severe do I wake early.
(A friend uses remeron--.)
Pristiq 50
Dex spansules and maybe dex IR total 40-60.
Xanax xr 1.0
Xanax IR .5 as needed
lithium 300
Vicodin 7.5 mgSonata 5 as needed.
I get anxious. I know you have irritability.
My depression seems to be unipolar. Is your dx BP ll?What's your regime?
Hope there's something helpful here--.
Best to you,
fb
