hi starshine here, I have been experiencing awful insomnia except I dont feel tired, my eyes do but i am up not one bit of rem sleep has happened over a two week period i saw my doc last week was given 0.25mg halcion doesnt work, i am still under a great deal of stress with the family thing. i told my doc that i was feeling calm on the zoloft i am up to 100mg now, not on the wellbutrin anymore that was just for 2 months so we stopped that and i have very severe depression, i feel it beginning, so my doc added lithium 300mg 1 in the morning 2 at night i feel so flat now, as if i cant move, she said that i never have any highs but the lows are awful

she said this mood stabaliser will help me not sprial down into the abyss, i feel scared i had a evaluation was told that lithium and antidepresants can help, and my diagnosis is the same severe major depression, ptsd, panic disorder, nothing about bipolar. can i have an expert or two weigh in on this i am always complaint, as it can take years to get the right meds, it has been 10 years, my life feels stolen from me, this is a horrible disease, depression runs in my family big time.  please help i am scared.
