The years I have battled crappy sleep patterns from depression / insomnia cannot be recovered. Their best answer these days is still something like SSRI + zyprexa or seroquel which is still pretty crappy IMHO.

On these medications I can simply NEVER get deep refreshing sleep. As a result, I spent most of my time walking around like a zombie. I might as well have had narcolepsy. Amitriptyline? I NEEDED to have a 2 hour nap each afternoon or I'd colapse. Thats why most many of these meds end up just making me a zombie, you can NEVER get deep sleep.

I just find it kind of insulting that the effective medications get used for diseases with little lethality, wherase depressed patients with comorbid insomnia are at significantly elevated risk of suicide compared with depression minus insomnia or the normal population.
