Insomnia anyone?

farrellashleigh

Just wondering if anyone has experienced insomnia AFTER starting anti-depressants? I know that insomnia itself is one of the side effects of PPD, and the like, but I never really experienced it until now after I've started meds?? Anyone else?? I'm thinking of asking my doc for some Ambien to help me sleep..?

I've always had bouts of it...pre-meds and still while on.  My counselor thinks that I may be better off with some ambien as well, and I'm on a very low dose of effexor for primarily anxiety.  I think that getting some quality sleep for once makes a world of difference in the way that you feel!

I took Ambien for 4-5 days when I was on Zoloft. It did wonders for me to get a solid night of sleep. I was pumping and it messed with my supply to miss those night pumps, but it was worth it. I think sleep deprivation is a big part of PPD.

I had this with Zoloft one of the reasons I had to switch meds.
