I know I am also trying to find a solution to this problem. Emsam is working well as far as keeping my moods in check. But the lack of seep is beginning to affect me too. I am so tired all the time. I am only taking two mg of klonopin as Ambien cr doesn't do anything anymore. I am also taking Magnolia bark an alternative supplement and it helps a little but nothing significant.
Anyone has any ideas please share your experiences.
I'll be watching this post and hoping for some ideas. I too take Emsam (which has been a life saver after trying 20 other meds). I can't sleep and it's really start to affect my life! I'm currently taking-
>
> 300 mg Lithium bedtime
> 12.5 Ambien CR bedtime
> 1 mg Clonazepam bedtime
> 6 mg Emsam in the morning
> 25-100 mg Vistaril as needed during the day
> .50 mg of Clonazempam as needed during the day
>
> I sleep for MAYBE 4 hours a night. I have the added problem of PLMD. Someone please tell us there's help for sleep out there! I fell asleep on my 30 minute lunch break at work yesterday and at the movies the other night ( I liked the movie so that wasn't it) and I've almost fallen asleep at stoplights, at work, and while driving long straight stretches. I just don't know what to do...... The Pdoc is aware of the problem and I don't go back to my sleep doc for about 3 weeks.
