I am getting some H1 blockade from the Benadryl I am currently taking but wake up several times a night. I've already decided to ask my pdoc about stuff like Halcion or Restoril, which I can take every other night or whatever is necessary to avoid any dependency/tolerance issues. I am not going to take the damned atypical antipsychotic he had brought up at my last visit. It's too expensive, and I have grave misgivings about this class of drugs being prescribed for people with unipolar depression who are just suffering insomnia because of their AD meds.

Hi Todd,

What sort of bad rections did you have to trazodone & nortriptyline? I am against the atypical AP for sleep for unipolar people, but they may be a good option for bipolar people needing sleep & mood stabization.

Cheers,
Panda.
