In reply to Benzo free med suggestions for early awakening, posted by rculater on March 26, 2012, at 5:25:39
> Currently on no medication, I can get off to sleep like a light however, every night I wake very early (3-4AM) and although I feel tired, I cannot get back to sleep and the remainder of the night is spent tossing and turning or I might get back to a light/low quality sleep.
> I dont want to go down the benzo route, Ive tried Melatonin but it made me depressed, Valerian made me tired the next day. Amitriptyline gave me to many cognitive effects.
> I seem to remember some posters here using a ultra low dose of a SSRI or maybe it was a AP but cant remember which. Any ideas ? This need to be long term as ive suffered with this for years.

> thanks

>Low dose of Remeron 7.5-15mg or Seroquel 25-100mg. Are you against zopiclone/zolpidem as well?
