Depression and Sleep?!
Question: Depression and Sleep!?
I was recently hospitalized for depression and suicidal ideation!.!. They took me off Zoloft and put me on Cymbalta!. I was also recently taken off Remeron and put on Trazodon!. I know that I need to give the Cymbalta time to work!.!.!.but it's been 2 weeks now and I still don't really feel any better!. And I'm not sleeping at night!. I've tried taking melatonin but that doesn't seem to help much anymore!. Does anyone have any suggestions that would help me sleep the night through without constantly waking up!? I left a message for my nurse but it might be a few days before she can get back with me!. I just want something that will help with the sleep!.!.!.and maybe that will help with the depression!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have the restlessness and sleepless night often!.
The things I do , are get excercise during the day!. Like warm up stretches in the morning!. a walk in the afternoon weather permitting!. Then another walk or jog outside!. Unless you're rather visit a gym!.
I also found cutting back on my junk food or sugar in take help some!. As well as drinking less coffee or decaff coffee!. To avoid the crashes it causes during the day!.
Then after I come home I either get on here for a little while to unwind, or read a book !. Then after a warm shower or hot bath!. I will drink hot tea!. Either Chamomile, sleepytime or tension tamer!. They all work well to calm me down and let me unwind enough to get some sleep!.
Some night I still need a bit of help so I'll take a valarien tablet!. As the melatonin doesnt work good with my health problems!.
Tension tamer works good for helping calm things down during the stressful days!. The teas can be drank hot or cold and still have the same effects!. Hot just makes it work faster!. As the hot water releases the tea faster into your water!.
I hope you fiond something that works well for you!. I'm sorry you have these kind of troubles!. As they are hard to deal with at times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

for what it worth!. try having a long soaking bath!. have you tried looking at the leaflet that comes with your tablets!. some drugs take up to a month!. before the work properly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Seroquel!. It is an antipsychotic that has sedating properties, taken at a low does it can be beneficial in both sleep and mood!. I was very nervous to take an antipsychotic med because I do not suffer from psychosis-but now I swear by it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I remember reading a few articles lately that stated it could take months for a drug to take effect and the benefits to be realized!. That's not help, I know, when your suffering!.
As far as sleep the only thing I can suggest is to tire yourself out during the day!. Not easy I know!.
