> I am moderately depressed/w anxiety and can't sleep. Tried Serzone, helped at one time but then got off it. Since then I have tried to go back on with no luck. I become agitated, less people friendly. (Could be lack of sleep). I have also tried remeron (15 mg or 7.5 mg) which made sedated and restless, didn't wear off until late the next day. Didn't sleep that well on it. Same thing with Trazodone. I get the benefit of sedation without restful sleep. Any suggestions or info/experiences on TCA's for sleep or anything else would be helpful.

I had good luck with amitriptyline. I believe it
is considered the most sedating of the TCA's. It
was also a good anxiolytic and antidepressant for
me. Had to stop because of side effects unfortunately
(heart related, congenital) but would otherwise
still be taking it...
