> I have trouble falling sleep more than staying asleep. My depression is worst at morning.In the past, it was believed that early morning awakenings and feeling worse in the morning indicated the use of tricyclics. Again, tricylics are thought to be more liable to trigger manias than most other drugs.
> Do you have suggestions for my sleep issue?It might be worth exploring combining mirtazapine (Remeron) with venlafaxine (Effexor). Remeron is often given for sleep, and in combination Effexor, sometimes produces improvements in depression when other treatments have failed. Even though Remeron is very antihistaminic (like Seroquel), I couldn't find any reports of asthma on Medline. However, the manufacturer mentions it as an infrequent side effect.
