I know how bad the insomnia can be and it just makes you more irritable.

Thanks for replying. I'm not on anything except 9mg EMSAM and 0.5 Xanax ER. I'm glad to hear you got some sleep. I have to say the dietary restrictions really haven't affected me too much.
Does Seroquel cause weight gain? I have gained about 13 pounds since I started EMSAM and I think it's because my metabolism has shut down from the insomnia. No, I don't have great eating habits either but when you're depressed you just want sugar and carbs. We are having the first hot weekend of the year where I live and NONE of my summer clothes fit from last year, I feel awful about myself. I haven't been this heavy in 3 years.
Guess I'll just wait for that pdoc appointment on Wednesday...
