Zo, that is something of a relief I guess, but what exactly did you discontinue? It doesn't sound like you are in some sort of "ultradian" cycling to me. In fact I am in a seasonal major depression right now that is being partially controlled by meds. The laying around in bed all morning not wanting or not being able to get up and fully alert is exactly what is happening to me right now. What does happen is that I can get to sleep ok (with some Klonopin help .5mg), but I always tend to have early morning awakenings (go to sleep at midnite-1am, but wake at say 5-6am), followed by tossing and turning and then going back to sleep and sleeping until nearly noon. As the day progresses I do tend to feel better. But the trick is this-do you feel "hypomanic" in the evenings?? If not I think this is just plain old depression.
