What have you tried? I was on Desyrel (trazadone) for 4 years for the

sleep disorder. When I finally got a magnetic mattress, I did get more

sleep and got off the anti-depressants. I took St. 's Wort for 3 years

when I was divorced, as I knew that I would have problems. I got off that

also. I still have sleep disorder, but nothing like it was in 1991-4. I

think a sleep disorder is one of the things that many of us have.

Ok, Elavil is Imipramine, and did terrible things to me. Wellbrutin made me

feel weird! You might try St. 's Wort, the best selling

anti-depressant in Europe, available here over the counter.

Trazadone did not have any sexual side effects for me. Doxepin is another

that you did not mention.

I used to work in mental health, (have a master's degree in social work),

so am familiar with many of these except the newer ones.

Are drugs the only option for sleep disorder?

What I learned about antidepressants AFTER I was prescribed them,

was horrifying. I won't ever let anyone feed me those things again.

I DO know how much lack of sleep can wreck your health though.

I just have to think there is a better way.
