That's great!
So in a nutshell is it good or bad for sleep.>>
For you, it sounds like it is better for sleep than the other SSRI's.
Responses to these meds are so variable, that genralizations can't be made without understanding that there are many hidden variables at work (if genomic testing and so on were routine, this might be different, but for now, all we can do is trial and error, and if it works, then stay with it if the s/e/ are not unbearable).
The sleep doc responded to my question about Lexapro (dx: CNS hypersomnolence, narcolepsy) by saying that it helped sleep in some, and worsened it for others. So you never know until you try it.
