> I also have this kind of paradoxical sleep, but with amitriptyline. Many days I sleep less and wake up more refreshed, much better than when I fall asleep with benzos or Risperdal. A few times I woke up after three or four hours feeling great physically. Maybe TCAs promote more REM sleep? Sleep on benzos feels shallow.
Yeah its odd. I took 25mg 2hrs ago before dinner. I'm still up, feel slightly sedated, very calm yet not at all drowsy. Yet if I laid down I know I could fall asleep. I also had a strange energizing effect after waking after my 1st dose taken at 8pm last night. I woke just after 9pm, went online, listened to some musice then took another 25mg before midnight. I was asleep shortly after. NO 'doziness' at all yet.
