yeah. i used some dbt mindfulness skills and that helped somewhat. it's hard when there's a drug interacting with your normal physiology. sleeping wasn't a problem pre-brintellix. i told my pdoc that any time he's prescribed me a drug he calls 'activating' it ends up giving me insomnia.
i seem to get terrible side effects :-/ On top the insomnia, i had such bad nausea i thought i was going to throw up (and i was taking it with food) and i kept burping. one night i woke up burping and that was part of the reason i couldn't go to sleep. i just sat there for a half hour... burping...
