It may be side effects of my medication (Lamictal and Lexapro) but I can’t sleep anymore. I have vivid dreams and nightmares that wake me at night and I can’t stop myself from waking up long before my alarm. The worst part is sometimes I will wake up at 2:30am but can not go back to sleep. Even when I get 8 hours of sleep my sleep quality is so poor that I end up falling asleep on the couch after work (around 4pm). DAE get effected by this issue? My psychiatrist said it may be time to try a sleep aide. Is anyone else on them?
