I now take meds to help me get to sleep and keep me that way. It took several tries to get the right combination of pill and dosage. There were times I was sure I was never going to get it right.

At first I wasn't sleeping at all, maybe a couple of hours if lucky. The success in getting past this part finally happened.

Then I could get to sleep and rather quickly. Unfortunately my body doesn't react to meds as it is suppose too. Perhaps that's because I'm a frog.

I would fall asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow. I slept soundly for at the most 2 hrs. then I was wide awake. If lucky I would return to sleep a while later only to sleep 1 1/2 to 2 hours and wake up again.

Then there was the combination that didn't help me go to sleep. However once I was a sleep I didn't want to wake up. Sometimes I didn't get out of bed until noon.

I don't know if any of these sleep patterns fit yours. But I would definitely talk your problem over with you pdoc. It could take awhile to get it "right".

Being a frog of little brain, I'm not sure meds will help you. However I'm now a firm believer that getting the right amount of the right kind of sleep helps with controlling depressive thinking.
