Oh, I so sympathize with you about getting up and taking a sleeping pill and going back to bed.... I also have done this for many, many days, even weeks...and I know how weird it is just to lay there and watch your mind wander about as the hours go by....it's almost like being in suspended animation.

I'm wondering if you've tried any of the other types of anti-depressants (MAOI's, trycyclics, etc.)....? I have had some help especially from MAOI's (in spite of the diet restrictions and some of the side-effects). I have also benefitted from Dexadrine (up to 40 mg/day--time-release spansules). At the moment I'm taking Dexadrine (as above), 1mg of Ativan (for anxiety unrelated to Dex.), and 5mg of Paxil (which I'm trying to come off since I haven't found it to be useful).

My heart goes out to you--I have definitely 'been there and done that'.... There is hope, though. Different meds may help...and whenever possible/appropriate let people know you're NOT okay, even if you look as though you are...

There IS help and it comes in all sorts of shapes and disguises....the fact that you're reaching out on this site is,in and of itself, a positive sign!

Stay in touch, and take care,

suji
