Guess i'm now going to be under another lot of withdrawal, 20 days since i stopped Citalopram (8 weeks on) and now 2 days since i stopped Sertraline (3 weeks on) especially since new ones are a different kind of AD
Seems like the sleep bits wearing off already .... definitely bad to 'normal' on sleep (waking up 4-5 times + slow to get to sleep) .... was a nice week at least when i got sleep...
Still a bit sluggish in the mornings (waking up is still hard)
Don't feel too bad though .... Appetite is 'normal' other than what Christmas did to me (almost ruined a years worth slow mental progress in controlling my eating impulses)
Still have appointment in 2 weeks to see GP on dose ... guessing he's going to up it to 30mg as he said that the 15 was just to start/ramp up.
Glad that you're feeling OK lovely. Sorry about the sleep, but you can work on that. Do you have good sleep hygiene?

It's good that you are feeling a bit better. Sleep hygiene must be the new buzz word on the block at the moment. I've been asked about it a few times in the last couple of weeks. I think I have good habits for evening times. I watch TV and take my meds and when I go to bed I never leave the light on. I say a few prayers and then I'm gone. But my problem is staying asleep. I can wake up to 5 times a night. It drives me nuts because even when Aisling was a baby I'd only be up once or twice with her.
Exactly Magie06 - i generally am able to get to sleep at a reasonable time. But, for example, last night i went to sleep at 10:30. I was awake at 11:45, 1:30, 3, 5:30 and then woken by alarm at 7
I don't touch caffeine after 3pm hard deadline.
I drink several litres of water a day
I don't eat sugary things late at night
I listen to stuff in the dark in bed rather than watching anything (some nice audiobook or a meditation or something)
But i sleep like crap
Have you kept a sleep diary and then shown that to the Dr?

@Suzi - i was referred to have a sleep study done in which i wore an oxymeter and motion detector .... the found nothing worrisome in that regard (sleep apnea or anything)
I'm exceptionally light sleeper ... have been for many years
I know others who find playing something like white noise helps them stay asleep... Have you ever tried something like that?
