I forgot if I told all of you, but I will mention again because this was a major "find" for me.
I was slipping into depression (the fatigue type) every 4 days when I started Strattera.
My P-doc had me chart my naps, amount of times I wake up at night and duration, and total hours of sleep.
He figured out my sleep was so disturbed that it caught up with me every 4 days. I would then nap for a few days, be re energized for about 4 days then fatigue cycle again.
Right now I am on ambien to sleep at night and I do not cycle any more.
I hope this info will help somebody out. My p-doc said some P-docs specialize in sleep alone. He said sleep science is a field that can really complicate or help ones life.
I used to be fairly proud that I can function on little sleep.
I am now a avid believer in sleep is essential to a productive day.
