Saw Lisa again. Instead of going the route or more sleep drugs, she prescribed Paxil, thinking that getting rid of the anxiety will get rid of the insomnia. So now it's a matter of trying to get my doctor to prescribe it I guess. Anyone take Paxil or know much about it?

I love, LOVE the Tragic Kingdom album. Love it. All of it.

Paxil did absolutely nothing for me except give me nightmares. Zoloft was the only thing that worked. BUT. . . that doesn't mean anything. It might be just what you need. It works for lots of people.

I loved Paxil, but I seem to be the exception more than the rule. I will warn you, though, that its withdrawal symptoms are as bad as Effexor's, so if you take it, don't miss a day! It gave me really terrible insomnia, which I didn't mind, but I know side effects hit everyone differently. Good luck!

Oohh, and here is the website I've been meaning to link you to forever: cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia. I don't know if it will be of any use, but there it is. :)
