Early on with Emsam I needed hydroxyzine and a benzo plus seroquel to sleep. That got better and then it's been sometimes I had trouble and sometimes I didn't until the last year when sleep was impossible (and the last 2 months when it has been all I could do). I'm on gabapentin right now to help me get to sleep since the clozaril seems to be more sedating at keeping me asleep than getting me there and that's working really, really well without any side effects. I still occasionally need hydroxyzine but not much and only once every week or two.

I think sleep problems are normal starting emsam and I'm sure grief adds to it a great deal.

Hope you have a great night of sleeping.
