I've always been a bit of an insomniac but over the last 3 years it has gotten worse. It's only periodic and I can usually manage for one or two nights but at the moment it's pissing me off.
It seems that as my mood improves I get more fidgety and then I'm to wired to sleep. This happened about a month ago. My mood was good I felt positive and relaxed but then anxiety hit me from nowhere, insomnia followed and sleeplessness sent my mood spiralling down. After three awful weeks I now feel pretty good again but I cannot frickin sleep and I'm worried the same thing will happen again!
It could be my meds. I'm on 40mg citalopram and occasionally take beta blockers for anxiety. My doc gave me sleeping tablets but I've only taken 4 in 4 weeks as dependency is a real issue. So what to do now?
Perhaps 40mg is too high? I'm perplexed and frustrated. Any ideas?
