I've been battling insomnia all my life (even as a kid, took me hours to fall asleep). I was finally sleeping at night when I started taking remeron, but now that I got off it (because it made me eat like a horse and gain so much weight), I can't sleep at all. Zilch, nada, nothing. It's almost 4am and i'm still wide awake. My doctor said this new med, 'zeldox' would help me sleep and it won't cause weight gain. I slept the first night, but haven't been able to sleep the past two nights (even though I physically feel drained and tired), my mind is so wide awake. And I don't know if this is a side effect from the new med, but my fingers (mainly right hand) are stiff and hard to move or bend. It's like I'm losing the strength in them. So now I'm worried about that and I feel like a zombie from not sleeping. It's weird, I feel too tired to go downstairs and watch tv or read, but when I lay in bed, I feel so awake, it just doesn't make any sense.

Anyone know of any meds for sleep that do not cause weight gain or appetite increase and that you can mix with anti depressants and antipsychotics? I'm worried I won't sleep wed night and won't be able to do my thursday work shift (I only work one day a week and need this money to save up for school).

I hate this
