During my PCS, the only thing that would keep me from early waking or insomnia, was Remeron. I dozed off quick and easy.
In brain injuries, the ball is in your court mostly and the people you deal with, you must choose which doctor or medicine or even treatment you like the best.
I had the exact same problem you are telling me. I had very much early waking at 4-6am. No matter what time I even went to bed, same thing. And sometimes, I would doze off at 4 and wake up at 6!
However, within time, it most likely will go away. Insomnia during brain injury I felt was my greatest prison, I couldn't be refreshed and made my time during PCS a lot worse!
I am doing ok now, but dealing with dreaded Paxil withdrawals which are being taken care of with help from the psych, however I am thankful it was there for me, it saved my life.
