Sleeping and Prednisone and Anti-depressants

[Guest guest]

I have been on Prednisone for 5 years now and I am on 10mg in the

morning. I assume that the prednisone is what keeps me wired at

night even though at a low dosage. My doctor 2 weeks ago prescribed

Dysaril(anti-depressant) for sleeping but it doesn't calm me down

enough for it. I take Paxil 20mg in the AM, Prednisone, Effexor 37.5

in the AM, my doxy MWF, Ativan for anxiety when/if I have one. I

hate all the anti-depressants prescribed but I know I am going

through a traumatic depression. I want something without the side

effects if that makes any sense. I looked over-the-counter but all

are the same as benadryl which makes me feel groggy the next

morning. I just want to feel happy and well rested. Thanks for any

advice or tips.
