Sabino,
That's good to know about the combo of Effexor and Remeron. I'll have to mention that to my GP. Also good to know about the book. I may want to pick it up. I have used Ambien in the past with limited success. It seems I always wake up about 3:00 though. I need something that will let me sleep through the night. According to the ads, Lunesta sounds like it may work for me, but I'll just have to try it. If I can convince my GP to add Remeron to the mix maybe I won't need an additional sleep aid. I hope not!
Don't feel guilty about your 'shoebox of shame'. Mine happens to be a bag in the closet. I think we'd all rather not be taking so many drugs, but I simply refuse to feel bad when I know there are things that will help me feel better - especially when it comes to getting a good nights sleep. That's the one thing I crave the most.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted when my meds change and the success I'm having - or not having.
