I started 25 mg (for anxiety) 15 days ago and now I am finishing 1st week on 50mg. I know it is early in the process. I feel anxiety is down to manageable levels. However, the side effects are present and the most pronounced is insomnia. Seems as I barely sleep at night and than crush every 3-4 days for 5-7 hours .. . I tried Lunesta with so so effectiveness and Ambien as well. Ambien (10mg) worked 1st night after few sleepless nights and very little next night. Lunesta acts similar.
Based on readings (and please correct me if wrong) the insomnia has to do with the serotonin levels adjusting as I am moving forward. So at some point, it will get to a stable level. But in the meantime, I would like to be able to get more than an hour or two of sleep. What some of you did/do with the same problem?
Thanks
