I need to find a journal abstract making it clear to my p-doc before the 22nd when I see him that narcolepsy patients typically require a non-benzo hypnotic like Ambien or Sonata, for sleep archiecture reasons (versus, say, Trazodone or other trycyllics which will mess with my sleep and make me feel groggy as a result).
Where did you see that trazodone or tricyclics damage sleep architecture? Trazodone repairs SSRI-damaged sleep architecture and most TCA's improve the sleep of people with narcolepsy, as well as people with fibromyalgia and depressives.
I'm not familiar with Ambien's effect on sleep architecture so I would appreciate any insights you have on this. I know benzos mess with sleep architecture big time.
