Phoebe, Are you seeing a psychiatrist or family doc?
Have you considered a sleep study?
Have you had your thyroid checked? Noa could be helpful to you on this, I think. See the tips link at the top of the page.
How much do you drink a night approximately? Alcohol is tricky; when you drink for other reasons besides just being social, you could be headed for trouble. Can you stop drinking to see if that would help? If the answer is no, you might consider talking to a counselor about it.
Are you in a position to buy a light box?I sleep a lot too. I LOVE to sleep. I think some of my sleepiness comes from burning too much emotional energy throughout the day.
Find a doc who is willing to experiment with another drug or combo. It could be that, although your mood is better, it's far from any remission of the depression.
Wish you well..will you keep us posted?
Phil
