In reply to insomnia with antidepressants.. does it go away?, posted by coll81 on May 15, 2005, at 16:43:03
You could take the Cymbalta and add a small amount of Remeron. Not enough to gain weight, just enough to help to you sleep. Or you could add Amitryptaline or Surmontil in a small amount and you will sleep. I find they are much better than trazadone or seroquel.

> hi, it seems all the good ssris cause insomnia. i got through the celexa insomnia but went the insomnia went away, so did the medication. it pooped out on me. my doc gave me cymbalta but the first few ays ( i stopped after that) i only took 20mg and i still had insomnia. ugh.. i cant afford to get no sleep because I have a physical illness as well. it is horrible because im so depressed. and all the meds that dont cause insomnia cause weight gain ( such as remeron and serzone actually did for me i think) also serzone wasnt really helpful.. does anyone know if the insomnia will go away? because if it will, i might attempt to fight it out.. but im not so sure it will.. anyone know? i am EXTREMELy sensitive to anything even cough meds caus einsomnia in me...
> ps-ive tried 5-htp and all the other natural remedies and they either didnt work or they pooped put on me. 5-htp was great for about four months though if anyone wants to try it.. def worked as well as an antidepressant with NO side effects.. but then just stopped working. well my main question is, will the insomnia go away? and hos everyone doing if anyones taking cymbalta?
