Insomnia and depression

Posted by Iraku @iraku, Jun 21, 2012

I have noticed after the anti-depressant kicks in my insomnia has been slowly increasing. I feel wide awake for some period and then becoming so tired and thought that I could sleep but then when the light is off and I just slowly back to becoming wide awake again. I usually unable to sleep around mid night, the usual hour that I can fall asleep will moving away from 3 am to later and later. No matter how I tried to tired myself out and go to bed at normal hour, it won't happen. Please help!

I have been fully awake from the morning and won't have any nap during the day for 3 days now and it gets more difficult each day. The pills are working wonderfully though. My blood pressure is at stage 1 hypertension. I'm not sure what that means but it's not a good place to be surely.

Another horrid thing is the lack of sleep, anxiety/depression like a roller coaster. So alone.
