Northern, NJ

I have been taking one 10mg Valium per night for over a year now and i fall asleep ok but after 5 hours i'm up and not able to sleep anymore and i just don't feel well.

I also take one 60mg Cymbalta per night for over a year now.

I'm age 58 and struggle with bipolar and chronic depression.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member yes I take Valium to put me to sleep and Trazodone to carry on into a deeper sleep. Lately I’ve been getting up at 4am. I don’t know what’s going on. Apparently I’m at the highest dose. I see my.psychiatrist soon.
