no sleeping

[Guest guest]

hi, everyone. I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been

sleeping very well and generally I just don't care about very much.

School is out, I am done working, and the days are still getting longer.

I have so much trouble sleeping in the summer time. I have no idea why.

I have been on Paxil for 3 years and my doctor increased it a couple of

weeks ago...sure it made me sleepy, groggy, but not sleep. Melatonin

doesn't hlep like it does for some of you...it just makes me " drift " like

narcotics do. I am thinking that I will march into his office and aske

for a change. I am not happy anymore...but the not sleeping is killing

me....I feel so awful and I have a child that I can't ignore. She's so

good to not get into much when I'm asleep, but its not fair. My doctor

talked about FMS, but he seems convinced that I don't have it. Its not

like I can afford to go to a specialist right now....

Sorry for the rant. I was up alot with lower back ache. I did alot of

sitting yesterday. Went to see " Godzilla " . What fun!

Anyway, does anyone else have trouble sleeping in summer time? I am not

seasonally affective for depression at all...at least in the usual sense.

I love winter...the gray rain and constant drip drip drip (I live near

Seattle). I at lease sleep a little more then.
