What anti-depressants DON'T disrupt sleep

[sadsufferer2023]

I was on fluoxetine (prozac) for 2 years and I didn't get a full night's sleep once. Sometimes I woke twice a night (on a good night) sometimes six times. It was always with the need to urinare, although I don't know if that's just because I was awake, or if the need was what woke me up/ The doctor said as long as I was feeling better for the anxiety, I should weigh that up with the sleep issues and decide if it's worth putting up with the insomnia to feel less anxious.

I stopped 6 months ago as I couldn't take it anymore, and I've slept through the night ever since. But the anxiety is back and very hard for me to deal with.

Can anyone recommend an AD that doesn't affect sleep?

I take trazodone which is also a mild sedative.

I slept better after taking fluoxetine, so I guess it's not one size fits all.

Some antidepressants cause drowsiness so you take at night. Mirtazapine is one. Have you asked for a different antidepressant. Prozac is pretty old fashioned now, so they may recommend a newer one.

I take Mirtazipine which is also a sedative.

Amitriptyline is great as a side effect is making you sleep!

I take mine (citalopram) with a low dose of amytriptyline which makes me sleep

I second trazodone. It's a sedative as well as an anti-depressant which works differently from citalopram.

I take escitalopram, a fewer-side-effect-inducing version of citalopram, in the morning and trazodone at night.

Trazadone. I sleep so well with it.
