Thanks for this post Billiechic!
I have been taking Imovane (sleeping pill) every night since my seperation in 2004. Can't sleep without them.
I have alot of problems dwelling on things. I go over things again and again in my head, until I have exhausted every scenario, real or imagined. I try to think of every little problem, and find its solution.
I think because I have to be "prepared" so as not to get blindsided emotionally, financially....etc......
I have been on Effexor, and Wellbutrin....I gained weight on Effexor and also had some sexual disfunction, which apparently is common. So my Dr. put me on Wellbutrin.....which is not near as effective, but no weight gain or disfunction....BUT......made my insomnia worse.....
So I am going it alone for now......I am slowing improving....still can't sleep without drugs....and I have trouble maintaining "happiness" for any length of time........
My Dr. said some people have huge side effects from anti-depressants....I guess I am one of them.
I am sensitive to all medications actually.....She asked me if I can take cold medicine...I said no......makes me wacko.......she said they go hand in hand as far as intolerance goes...
I am happy for all of you who can take them sucessfully......keep it up......
