Hi Basia -
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time! There's nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night and feeling so awful!I've never smoked so not sure about the patch and insomnia. I would imagine anything that puts chemicals in your body could disrupt the natural order of things.
How long have you been on your meds? I've been on Lexapro for about 5 months. My insomnia got worse after I upped my dose. But, after taking Ambien for a week or so when insomnia got too bad, then off and on (about 3 mg) for a couple of weeks after, I am sleeping a bit better. The melatonin did stop working for me for a long time, but now it's working again. Although, with the last post about interactions with ADs, I'm a bit concerned.
Good luck to you! This is a hard road sometimes, isn't it?!?!
~ Lynne
