I don’t know what is the specific field to see a doctor for Insomnia. I haven’t been sleeping for the past couple of weeks.
Chosen Answer:
Insomnia is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info

i am on 50mg of Pamelor which is an anti-depressant. its a low dosage and is used to prevent chronic migraines rather than depression. i’ve been having trouble sleeping lately and want to take an Ambien tonight. would the combination cause any weird problem for me?
Chosen Answer:
It shouldn’t just take one ambien, and it shouldn’t effect you in any negative way, i am on anti depressants, and was on ambien and it didn’t do anything bad.

I just started taking effexor on Thursday for depression, anxiety, muscle pain, and migraines. Before I started taking it I would always wake up early in the morning (6 to 7 am) and not be able to fall asleep but now I also am waking up about 4 times throughout the night and having a hard time falling back asleep. My question is will this go away after the 1st couple weeks of taking this drug or will I continue having insomnia the whole time?
I have always avoided taking pills but my depression/anxiety got so bad I just lay on the couch and watch tv day from the physical pain it causes me.
Chosen Answer:
I had that too when I first started taking Effexor. After about 10 days my sleeping patterns were back to normal, and after a month the benefits of taking it far outweighed the first couple of weeks of insomnia. If you’re still sleeping badly in a couple of weeks you should see your doctor, as with any other side effects that haven’t gone away by then. God luck!

I’ve been clinically depressed and stricken with associated insomnia for over 10 years. I’ve tried a lot of different medications, yet nothing seems to work consistently (or the side effects are too severe). I can’t financially afford any type of therapy.
What else can I try at this point?
I do run about an hour a day, yet it has no effect at all.
Chosen Answer:
Try Effexor XR; it is the best antidepressant medication out there to date. I am on a low dose and feel great.
If you don’t like this or a lot of other medications then try Vitamin therapy. Nutrients linked to cure depression are:
All B vitamins, especially B 6.
Folic Acid (also found in dark, leafy greens)
Vitamin C paired with Calcium
Taurine (slows down racing thoughts associated with some depression sufferers)
Edit: Running, walking, or any kind of exercise has no effect on people with clinical depression.

What are some of the psychological reasons why one person suffering depression might sleep constantly and another experience acute insomnia?
Chosen Answer:
I cant say for sure, but the first thought that came to mind is that everyones body chemistry is different and that may be why.
Personally, I went thru years of insomnia until I found Ambien. Thank the good Lord for Ambien.

What Is Ambien (Zolpidem) ?
Ambien is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause sleep problems (insomnia).
Ambien is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep). This medication causes relaxation to help you fall asleep.
