I went to see my psychiatrist on Tuesday. I've been feeling really low recently, as well as extremely tired, so he's put me on clomipramine, a strong antidepressant. He said I'd feel a bit weird to start off with, which I do, but hopefully it'll sort me out. I didn't sleep any better last night, but I can't expect miracles.

Hiya

I'm not sleeping again. This is really taking the piss! When I want to sleep, I can't, because it's in the middle of the day when I have to be awake, and when I can sleep, because it's night time, I can't sleep at all. Why does this always happen? I don't like moaning (not that you'd know!) but I'm so tired, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm almost back to whiskey and painkillers again, but, as I've said before (or at least I think I have) I don't want to go down that road, it's a very slippery slope.

Hi again

Hello.

I'm still doing well on the clozapine. I'm honestly so surprised that it's working. I don't seem to have put on much weight at all, and the other side effects are bearable. The only problem is the tiredness, caused by the interaction between clozapine and gabapentin. Ah well, you can't have everything...
