> Thanks for everyone's input on my insomnia.
> First, let me make clear that I have no depression or anxiety disorder. The doctor who prescribed the Lexapro is not a psychologist -he is a neurologist. I have seen him 3 times for a total of 10 minutes -roughly 3 minutes per visit. Even if I was depressed, he could not make a diagnosis in that time.
> I'm flushing the Lexapro and my doc. I'll just write it off to another miserable experience with the medical profession.
But don't give up on finding something for your insomnia -- try going to a family practitioner or other generalist who won't over-treat you. Insomnia is no fun -- I suffer from it even when I'm not suffering from depression or taking ADs, and nothing feels better than getting a good night's sleep every night.
