Ya I consider myself an avid user (or did anyway) of "alternatives" to rx augments and sleep aids. I do agree with you totally about AP's for sleep...there is a risk involved i'm sure...even at a tiny dose. They already depress me the next day but i'm told I may respond differently to zyprexa for sleep. I'm trying, always have been actually, to add a TCA at night to both augment nardil and help sleep....I wanted badly to try doxepin or another highly sedative tca (perhaps amitrip)...but this will take an exhaustive debate with my gp...once I get up the strength lol I will step "back into the ring" with the guy. You must also be careful with herbs and sups on maois to some degree...i've learned 1 lesson so far there. I do use a few though on a semiregular basis as i'm almost out of temazepam and getting more will be like pulling teeth. Any suggestions? I have magnesium, niacinimide, scullcap, looking into hops, traz gave me seratonin syndrome on nardil.
> Myco, if you are taking APs for the treatment of sleep disturbances (not that I am underestimating the suffering involved) ,it may not be worth it. Have you tried alternatives such as calcium, magnesium or herbs? There are also antidepressants which cause drowsiness that you can try to add- trazodone or certain tricyclics, I think.
