> What is the problem with sleep? Is it falling asleep or staying asleep?
I have no problems falling asleep- blame the sertraline and the abilify. It's staying asleep. I arise early- between 3 and 5 am. Sometimes I stay awake, sometimes I putz about for an hour or two and go back to bed, emerging very groggy after a few more hours of tossing and turning
>If it's the latter you might want to ask your doctor for a sample of Lunesta because it lasts longer than Sonata. I think Sonata is the shortest-acting hypontic on the market (1-2hours). You may just need more than 10mg Sonata until this stress is over. I would give Lunesta a try though (pdoc permitting).
>I'm sure he'd be permitting. he Rx xanax, klonopin, zyprexa zydis, etc. The reason I use sonata is because I can take it at 3am and still feel fully alert by 7am. It's a good crutch, but not if it doesn't work right!!!
