Hello Forum,
It is common knowledge that sleep disturbance is a big part of
depression.Has anyone experienced improvement of their sleep as
their mood lifted? Does good mood and good rest go hand in hand?
I am finding out that eventhough I feel better, I still wake up too many
times and the episodic dreaming I experience isn't a true repose. I take
a sedating AD but it still isn't helping and in the morning I am groggy. I
have depended on a benzo tranquilizer to knock me out for 6-7 hours
but I don't want to be hooked on it as I'm trying to wean myself after 2
months of use. I tried natural sedatives like Lemon Balm, Wild Oats and
Valerian to no avail.
I appreciate anyone's feed back on how their sleep was affected by ADs
- whether they helped or not and the tranquilzer dilemma.
Thanks.
