Yep, that's the sort of thing I'm concerned about. Yesterday I went to see my doctor about some trouble I'm having sleeping at night. He told me that women my age often have trouble sleeping due to declining hormones, and he suggested I take an SSRI. He said serotonin would help me sleep. I feel like I need another psych med like I need a hole in the head. And the insurance is bound to look at that and think I am taking it for depression.
