I woke up an hour before my alarm, but managed to get 6 hours of sleep again. I feel otherwise good except maybe a bit wired. And yes, my pdoc, she's aware of my sleep deprivation. I've been on my new meds for about 6 weeks now and I've been told one of the side effects is that they possibly make your insomnia worse.

I don't think there's much to do. I've tried zopiclone but my sleep gets more interrupted than without it. If I become very desperate, I might be able to agree to take a lowish dose of Seroquel XR. I stopped taking Seroquel because it increased my appetite so much, and that's why I'm scared of Zyprexa too. I feel like my sleep is getting slowly better. At least I hope that's the case and not just a couple of good nights
