I'm stuck trying to find some sort of balance to my sleep life. For much of the past year, I've been unable to sleep more than an hour or two at night. My psychiatrist tried a couple of different antidepressants or BP meds that had strong drowsy side effects, and we finally landed on a secondary antidepressant that has helped me fall asleep and stay asleep for a good amount of time (5-6 hours a night).

During this time, I've had almost exclusively lucid nightmares...usually of my younger self in either situations where my parents and a random selection of friends from my life find serious fault with me or...umm...me dying in various ways that'd each qualify for a good gory horror film death.

Now, however, I've gone too far the other way. I get around 8-10 hours of sleep a night, and I'm incredibly drowsy. Waking up is very difficult.

I'm not dreaming at all now. I fall asleep into a blackness, and wake incredibly groggy - perhaps feeling even less rested than when I was barely sleeping at all.

What could be going on here? Am I sleeping but not sleeping?

It is the meds. Keep in touch with your doctor about this.
