Best med if you suffer from poor sleep during depression? |
I usually fall asleep at 5 a.m., which is horrible. Next day is
totally ruined! Anyone with the same experience, that is depression
and poor sleep? I'm on an anti-depressant now that works somewhat, but
I hope to find a pill that actually cures it. What anti-depressant
would that be, if any?

It may be helpful to visit a sleep lab, or talk with your regular
doctor about your symptoms, then let him make the decision. Sometimes
antidepressants work for insomnia, though I've been prescribed Klonopin
for both sleep and anxiety, along with the others. Its really hard to
tell where the cause is without a lot of testing

It would be hard to recommend an anti-depressent for that, because
anti-depressents aren't made to cure insomnia. You should only take
medications that are designated for the symptoms eg, a sleep aid.
I would say Remmeron made me the most tired of all anti-depressents.
Trazadone also fits the bill and is nowadays usually prescribed for
insomnia, because it's more effective at that than at being an
anti-depressent.

I take Trazodone at sleep time.
