Well I need to discuss with my Psychiatrist as I am am unsure that 'Cyclothymic Disorder' is the right diagnosis for me....
Don't want anything that will knock me out cold though...Mirtazipine did that with me the first time I was given it although it was short lived...Second time round I'd had one too many experiences of being 'knocked out' by meds so I took it once and never took it again.
Seroquel has helped me sleep - and stay asleep - however it has a small problem of making you sleep till next week - I could sleep and sleep and sleep....And weight gain has been a massive issue with me. I started on 50mg, then was increased to 400mg over 4 weeks....think for your situation though 50mg or even 100mg might do the trick!
I was given Zopiclone years ago when I was first diagnosed with Insomnia, however I was told at the time that it is usually only administered in Hospital and rarely given in out-patients, also not sure if it is available in the US, but it might be worth mentioning. Only problem I had with that was it did knock me out....for around 12 hours or something.....
Take Care =]
