Thanks for the words of encouragement! I did sleep like baby on only 1/4 of gaba pill last night (plus the Ambien CR and 2 mg klonopin) nd I didn't wake up at my usual 2:00. I just hope it lasts longer than the usual 5 days! I tried sleeping without the patch and it didn't help. As a matter of fact, if I don't change it every 24 hours exactly my mood drops (all in my head??). I tried Lunesta, I could have taken nothing and had the same effect- in other words, it didn't work at all. I mentioned to the pdoc about Trazadone and she said I couldn't take it with Emsam. After reading your post I mentioned that others have done it. She's worried about Serotonin Syndrome and I pointed out that I take Frova which can cause SS but doesn't. If the Gaba doesn't work she said we'll try Trazadone. Thanks again for all the help! Now if I could only find some relief for the SD!
