I've heard bad things about Lyrica but maybe it would be ok as a low dose in the evening. I do have terrible anxiety with the depression in the evenings.
> yea...doxepin its sometimes used for a night med...its an tryclic antid. it effects serotonin...but I have little research on its effects. I just know of it because people used to take at this rehab I was in for sleep. Trazadone was and is widely used as a sleep med... which is really nasty in my opinion. Get doxepin.

> Also...maybe at night too...hydroxyzine but its just known for sedation...its not really good for depression. They use this alot amoung public health psychiatrists for its zero addictive properties.
