Just started taking Lofepramine for PND but as soon as I started 4 days ago I kept waking up frequently in the night. Seeing as part of my problem is feeling so tired and DD has decided to start waking for a feed at 5.30am, this seems counter productive. will this side affect stop eventually?

yes it will be a few weeks but it will disapear so give them a chance, the only one that never disaprared for me was feeling hot and sweating.

Thanks! I can cope with sweating, just not the sleepless nights!

I have found that many anti depressants make me very drowsy in the day, everytime that I sat down I went to sleep. I was then up all night part;y because I had slept all night but also because I had got myself so tense worrying that I would not sleep as I had been asleep all day.
