> How many mgs. are you on? This is my only (small problem) too. I fall asleep easy enough, but always wake up too early..4 or 5 a.m. So i only average about 5 hours of sleep a night. I would prefer 7-8. Glad you are doing well too.

> MonteI was having the early awakening problem on 6 mg of Emsam. I added 25 mg of diphenhydramine (generic Benadryl) at bedtime and it did the trick. (Note that I also take 75 mg of Nortriptyline, which has a sedative effect, at night so YMMV.)
