It greatly relieved my depession - but threw anxiety into the mix. I take 30mg Busbar 2x daily and that seems to somewhat help level me out during the day. Unfortunately, getting to sleep is another story. I have low doses of Xanax when I feel a panic attack coming on, and my doctor gave me Ambian as a sleep aid. I can also take Benadryl or Tylenol PM which seems to help. Waking up is always tough - but once I get out of bed - the anxiety kicks in again and gets me through the day. It's a viscious cycle. Good luck and keep us posted. Patty
