> I totally understand insommina, it drives you nuts. I'm on efexor xr and yes it has reduced my anxiety but I find it really hard to sleep. I'm still taking valium for anxiety and was taking mogadon for sleep but my pdoc has decided to switch my sleep med to Imovane (sister to Lunesta) not avaible in the US, either is mogadon (benzo) which is an excellent sleep aid but does make you groggy in the morning for the first few times you take it and does't leave that vile metallic taste in your mouth like Imovane and Lunesta. I have tried a few anti psych's for sleep and couldn't get out of bed at all, Zyprexa and Seroquel turn me into a total zombie. It's just so hard to find a good sleep aid and a good nights sleep is the key for a healthy new start. Hope I was of some help.
Thanks. I'll probably be trying a benzo or Ambien or Lunesta eventually.
