Didn't you start the 30 mg on Sunday? A good response is characterized by improved mood, better coping ability, fewer tears, no thoughts of being better off dead, "seeing colors again," better energy, laughing at good jokes, better sleep, being able to get your mind off worries or at least worry "appropriately," hope for the future, feeling worthwhile, on and on. It's a gradual, but distinct, process and others notice before you do.
Don't try to tough out the sleep thing too much. If you need the kava or klonopin, take it. Pick one and stay with it for at least 3 days running and if you feel you need to switch to the other one to see if it's better, do so.
I don't know if the EMDR people will respond by mail or not. Couldn't hurt to try since you are having to wait abit while you get the basic necessities of life in order.
