Anyone that takes a antidepressant also suffer or suffered from sleep issues / insomnia? If so have you had any success improving your sleep? I have tried multiple sleeping pills and don’t really help. I can usually eventually fall asleep, but I wake up multiple times in the night and then sometimes can’t fall back to sleep.

I take adderall and Wellbutrin, and suffer from sleep issues, but not quite insomnia. I loveeeee to sleep (I think it’s partially the depression), but I do sleep-procrastinate. Since I smoke weed often, it’s difficult for me not to fall asleep at some point.

Have you tried edibles, smoking weed and/or CBD? How about melatonin? Do you exercise? These all really help.

Melatonin in high doses + antidepressants can be a bad mix because in rare cases it could cause serotonin syndrome. Benadryl (AKA ZZZQuil) is a relatively safe over-the-counter option but best not to use it daily. Don’t take NyQuil because you’re just taking acetaminophen for no reason which isn’t great for you.

You might not have a high enough dose. Had a lot of these types of sleep issues early on taking antidepressants

I’ve been on it a few years. Currently dosing down and on a pretty low dose to hopefully stop after the seasonal depression time of the year is over.

My experience: trazodone is the charm. Before I got that Rx, melatonin helped a bit. Sadly alcohol and cannabis make me sleepy but worsen sleep quality.

I take my Lexapro and wellbutrin in the morning.

Exercise. Stay off your phone/tv/any screen an hour before bed. Read. Smoke some pot. Tiring myself out helps.

Lots of cardio and valerian

Olanzapine is great, only challenge is the weight

I just got Wellbutrin added to my daily Lexapro. I think it’s messing with me already.

Fellow KPMG, anyone with aetna pos II plan? It seems like you have a 35,000 lifetime maximum.

I also understand that oral drugs such as letrazole are covered under the prescription plan and you only need to enroll and register in the fertility plan if you need IUI and the more rigorous treatments.

Questions:
1. Does the letrazole count towards the 35 lifetime maximum?

Any other advice or insight would be appreciated.

Did IUI couple of times but failed. Not sure it works , fertility specialists are not that much interested in IUI but directly recommend IVF.

Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do?
