> > What you say about "middle insomina" is interesting. I can't say that matches my sleep pattern at all on or off SSRIs. For me, it's difficult to get to sleep and difficult to stay asleep, on and off the meds. However, one thing I've noticed is that I now sleep better from 4:00am to noon than from, say, 10:00pm to 6:00am. This seems to match the results of a saliva cortisol test I did last year, which said I have high night cortisol, but low morning cortisol. Anyway, that's probably not helpful, but...it's my experience. > Good luck,> Chris
>Your posts are always helpful. Your circadian rhythms seem to be a lot like mine (and Kara's, although I guess I shouldn't speak for her). On several occasions I've told my doctor that I feel the quality of my sleep between 2, 3 or 4 am and noon is far superior to my sleep during "normal" sleeping hours. I'm interested to hear about your salivary cortisol test. Have you ever done one of those nuisance 24-hour urinary free cortisol tests? If so, was that on the high side, too?
Thanks for explaining the Celexa/Lexapro issue.
