hi--i am a bit of a mess. i am 29 weeks preg and have stopped sleeping. it's been going on for almost a month. every other day i sleep and can't go on like this for 10-11 more weeks. long story short, i am on 10 mg of lexapro for GAD and have been throughout my whole preg. i was on a small dose of trazodone and it was working well until it wasn't. i tried to go up higher to no avail. i still couldn't sleep. my doc put me on Nortriptyline on Thursday and i have worked up to 75 mg a night since Saturday. I slept pretty well up until last night (tuesday night) and was basically up all night. today i am sweaty, shaky, threw up and feel terrible. so--who here has taken nortrip? does it take a while to get into the system and help with anxiety and sleep? when do you take it? right before bed or a few hours before? i might call my doc but i don't want to pester. also-please no judgement about taking meds in pregnancy. thanks so much for your help!
Firstly no judgement here....well I've never come across any. We all know what its like to suffer with Anxiety. Secondly congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm afraid I have no advice other than speak to your midwife and Drs. I hope this helps. X
thanks for the reply. this came out of left field so i am at a loss. i am getting bloodwork done on friday and seeing her wednesday. not sure how i'll make it another week. hopefully the sleep issue will resolve itself.
