> OK dudes, i am very concerned at the moment. I have only 6 days of Nardil to go then the 10 day washout. First of all, I am feeling much sadder no (down to 45mg)

> Second and this is the big prob - INSOMNIA!
> Last night I needed 10mg Nitrazepam and 20mg Valium to get to sleep. I had a chem lecture at 9am which I missed. Insomnia is a no-no to me. It makes my derealization much worse. What should I do? Use Zyprexa as a sleep aid from now on and during the washout period.

> Also, the gut fear feeling is getting worse day by day - I'm really scared.

> I'm feeling sad to leave such a good AD but the OCD kills and Nardil left a bit to be desired with the anxiety. PLEASE help! I am seeing my doc today, but I can't keep using such high doses of benzos for sleep. I just want to hurry up and swithc to Anafranil - that will HELP me sleep. I feel extremely worried. More depression, less sleep. I just want to start the Anafranil. Please give any suggestions to get me through the next 16 days to Anafranil.

Insomnia is just awful....I know this first hand.
Trying some Ambien is a good idea (I think). Just make sure you can get at least about 6 hours of sleep when you take it or you 'may' be a bit groggy in the mornings upon awakening. For waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep you could try Sonata, from what i've been told Sonata is the best for nighttime awakenings w/out the grogginess in the morning.
Good luck to you getting some Z'sssss.
