yea...doxepin its sometimes used for a night med...its an tryclic antid. it effects serotonin...but I have little research on its effects. I just know of it because people used to take at this rehab I was in for sleep. Trazadone was and is widely used as a sleep med... which is really nasty in my opinion. Get doxepin.
Also...maybe at night too...hydroxyzine but its just known for sedation...its not really good for depression. They use this alot amoung public health psychiatrists for its zero addictive properties.
Yea...you know this is another thought that may not get much credit but Lyrica at night would really be a good try....but it would be difficult to tell your doctor because its mainly used offlabel for anxiety. It has antidepressant properties.
anyways....just ask me other options and ill see what info I can put together.
