Hi, I, too suffer from major depression.I just fired my latest psychiatrist. I hae such a terrible time sleeping. He put me on this God awfuldrug Remeron along with my usual Wellbutrin. I swear testuff was speed. I didn't sleep at all for 4 nights. Not awink. I was convinced I was going to die. Never could find out how long someone could go without sleep before dying. I have a nw doctor and he seems OK. Thinks the Wellbutrin over the years contributed to sleep ssues. He really simplified my meds. I'm just taking Lexapro and Klonopin for sleep. Thee in itselfisa miracle because I also have a suffer froma severe pelvic injury that occured 10 years ao and finally reached its peak. The cold weather is killing me and I can'tet out of bed either yesterday or today. I feel worthless.My poor husband is working out in this cold. (I live in the deep south and we just can't take 26 degree days. Give me 95 degrees anyday).

 

I work parttime(32 hours/week). still rarely make a full week in my ffice but I do have the greatest employer in the world. They have supplied me with a laptopsoI can work thesetype of days in bed.

 

Soundprettyidealic,thenwhy amI so sad. I know alot of it is my phhsicalcondition. Due to my back and pelvis, Ican'sit for long periods of time nor walk any sort of distance. I really just get the mpst enjoyment just staying in bed. I sure could use somoeonne to talk to as well who sug=ffers chronic pain along with thiis darl=k depression. I wonder of I'llever be my fun self again.

Ambien puts me to sleep very well. So well, in fact, I can sleep and walk, coook and even get into my car. I am starting to sleep somewhat better.I ahd been on Wellbutrin and felt great but it contributes to sleep problem. The Lexapro is just starting ti wirk I think andI'mjust using Klonopin for sleep.Some nights I get some pretty good sleep. My husband's sleeping better to I think.
