Glenn:
Just my 2 cents here, I think insomnia is
one of the most troubling aspects of depression.
I used to have the same schedule as you,
did my best work between the hours of 10 pm and 2 am.
Now that I am on Wellbutrin during the day,
and Neurontin too, including 2 X 600 mg before
bed, I sleep like a log, during that time
when the 90% of the population sleeps. Now
I feel like the rest of the world, and I kind
of don't like it. I felt more productive as
the old me. Does that seem weird?
Could your dr try you on some neurontin?
I hope you can resolve your sleep issues. I
just wonder if it becomes an obsession - to sleep
when everybody else seems to - when in fact, you
could just go to sleep when your body wants to.
Do you have a job that demands that you be there
"early"? I hated that when I was employed by
an ivy-league institution (which shall remain
unnamed!), and the chair of
my dept ordered me to be in by 9:00. I physically
could not do it at the time. Although I would be
able to now on the current med regimen...
In any case, best wishes, sorry this is bothering
you so much...Wendy
