Yeah, I'm new to antidepressants. I'm impatient. I know, I need to wait. I'm trying a different combo right now.

Sleep is very important in healing depression.
Good luck and please don't disappear on us!

It helps to know there are others who've been through this. I sleep whenever I can.
My schedule got messed up yesterday. When I get really low, I usually go to sleep. I woke up around midnight and it took me about five hours before I was tired enough to lay down again. I'll probably go to sleep again after I get off of work.
I'm off to work soon...sometimes it's a bad trigger for me. *sigh*
