ADs that don't interfere with sleep

Posted by psychobot5000 on June 7, 2006, at 17:43:34

Hi.
Does anyone know what AD medications, especially outside of SSRIs, MAOIs and tricyclics are least likely to interfere with sleep?
I'm just coming off a trial of Lamictal/lamotrigine, which proved immediately effective, but which prevented me getting restful sleep. Very frustrating. (Lamictal can suppress stage 3/4 sleep, and possibly REM as well--data are inconsistent on that score). Anyway, I've had almost precisely the same experience with nortriptyline and mirtazipine/remeron. These meds effectively relieved depression, but seemed to damage my sleep, to the extent that I couldn't function.
If anyone knows of alternatives (for example, meds with short half-lives), I'd be grateful.
