Ambien wans't that consistent for me. I had to keep upping the dose. My former doctor, who is otherwise up for anything, surprisingly didn't want me to take ambien regularly because of the potential for "dependency". This sounds ridiculous I know, but perhaps there was another reason I can't recall which prevented Ambien from becoming a main-line sleep med for me. Throughout my four hellish years of college, I mostly took klonapin to sleep, and often didn't need sleep meds. I've taken Seroquel every night for two years probably. It works every time. Depending on my med cocktail, I've needed as little as 25mg's, and as much as 1000mgs. But I'll ask my new doctor about the ambien, if it might give me a more "natural" sleep and leave me less hungover. I also wake up increadibly stiff and sore every morning, like I had run a marathon the day before.

I've started the Effexor 37.5 mg's (I've always done 7-day MAOI washouts and have never had a problem). No side effects or noticeable changes. I was thankful not to get the terrible nausea, which brought me off the med immediately during the first trial. I'm really down right now, can't face life. I just want to go away. I'm going to knock myself out so I can drop into semi-oblivion and decieve myself into believing the impossible scenario that I'll wake up a changed man.

I'll be keeping a close eye on your Adrafinil trial- sounds interesting. Do you need a script to get it? With the $80 a week I have left over after bills etc., maybe I'll spring for some Adrafinil or SAM-e to add in with the Effexor. I just feel like such sh*t. God, sorry for such a long post to such a simple question. I've been doing my med journal, but I should do a personal journal as well so I can keep my babble posts more succinct.

Love Ya' Brotha',
