Denise, It occurs to me that your "pulsing" might be counterproductive. Have you ever tried taking Zyprexa every day and allow an antidepressant to work within a stable environment? I think Lexapro might be particularly well suited for this approach. Geodon might even be a better choice than Zyprexa for depression. The only thing about Geodon is that it is somewhat unpredictable. Either one does very well with it, or it produces undesirable psychiatric effects.
Linkadge, it is good that Jay gave you more information to work with. I was once forced to use diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for Parnate-induced insomnia. I felt like crap the next day. It felt like a hangover, and I did not feel rested. Perhaps doxylamine is a better choice as Jay indicates. Regardless of what BZD drugs may do to sleep architecture, I felt much better once I got some on board. After being on them for three years, I always felt rested the next day with little or no hangover.
I like Jay's endorsement of Lunesta. Since so many people like eszopiclone, perhaps zolpiclone will be equally effective with few unwanted effects. I have never tried it, so I wouldn't know. I would probably give it a try first.
