My problem is similar to Clara's. I am waiting for a sleep study at Stanford.
I have tried many different anti-dep for the past 3 yrs, however my insomnia problem has not gotten better.
My problem is that I can't fall asleep until around 4am during nights before stressful days. However, many nights I have this problem even when I don't have a stressful day ahead of me.
My fear is that my problem is being miss diagnosed as a depression problem when its really a sleeping disorder. Although it also seems like a psy. problem considering the mental destructfulness of psyching myself out of much needed sleep.
This month has been very bad & I have not been able to sleep without ambien. Ambien leaves me tired all day, & I would rather get closer to a proper diagnoses, than to have to depend on this drug.
Do you have any suggestions, comments or opinions?
Thank you,
Cathy
