Treatment-resistant insomnia and I'm sick of it!

Posted by vbAgent on January 8, 2006, at 1:37:03

Well, it's safe to say that Lunesta 2mg has completely lost it's sleep-promoting effect. I'm totally sick of it. Insomnia sucks. I just don't know what to do...I've gone from Lunesta to Ambien CR back to Lunesta, and now I'm immune to thier hypnotic effect.

Any good psychiatrist would probably correctly suspect that insomnia isn't my primary disorder; I also have adult ADD for which I now take 15mg/day of Adderall. He/she will want to prescribe either an antidepressant or antipsychotic to augment the sleep-aid to treat some underlying anxiety and/or depression. I do NOT want that to happen. I have never experienced relief or benefit from an AD. Seroquel was very helpful but I'm extremely uncomfortable taking such a powerful drug solely for treating insomnia. Maybe I should just suck it up and do what has to be done. Sometimes I think I need a mood stabilizer. I just don't know...I'm plagued with indecision and irritation. I just want to cry...I want to punch a hole in my computer monitor. So frustrated...so very frustrated. I just want a regular sleep schedule!!!
