[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 32297, member: 2287"] Terry, at the time I was prescribed Wellbutrin my doctor also gave me a script for Elavil. It has been a godsend, I tell ya. She told me that waking up a million times a night was a sign of stress and depression (duh, ya think?). I used it every night for quite a while as she told me that I also had to redirect my body from the "habit" of waking up all the time. It worked really well, so since that time, I've not been taking it every night, but rationing myself. The script is now almost gone, so maybe she'll give me another. There's no doubt that I've been sleep-deprived since the death of my other son (12 years ago). THAT alone doesn't make for a very happy camper. Another good note.......difficult child has to have bloodwork taken tomorrow to see the impact of starting Lithium. husband has to have bloodwork also, but at a different lab. SO, I just told husband HE can take the little darling to have his blood drawn at the same time. Little Darling is a real jewel when it comes to giving blood......oh man, did I say that? Maybe he'll see what I go through with that also, OR difficult child will be a perfect child.....we'll see. [/QUOTE]
