Brintellix insomnia

[Catnapper]

Brintellix was added to my cocktail about 5 weeks ago to try to pull me out of the depressive episode I'm currently in. I started at 10 mg and went to 20 mg after 4 weeks. It's giving me terrible insomnia, even with taking Ambien CR. Have you experienced this, and did it finally go away at some point?

Well, for me with Abilify insomnia, I take Remeron which keeps me asleep for a good 8 or 9 hours. I'm not sure that would work for you though as you are already taking 2 antidepressants according to your signature. But Remeron is great for sleep issues. It hits hard at first but after a week or so the daytime sedation goes away and you just get sedation at night after you take your dose. The munchies are the worst side effect however.
