I alrady ungergo a CBT, but at the moment I really need the assistance of a med to sleep at least a bit. I have to say that the zyprexa, temesta combo has reduced my anxiety a lot. I don't fear the jerking anynore, I can keep my head on the pillow without correcting the position a hundred times. But I sleep not more than 5 hours each night with waking up many times. These meds gave me a lot of muscle problems as well.

The question I have now is what helpful med challanges an injured brain the least? Are anti psychotics harsher than cymbalta or lyrica? My doctor plans to get off temesta very soon and continue with an anti psychotic(seroquel probably). I would prefer cymbalta or lyrica or something from that group.

what I need is a good sleep, a positive attitude(mood) and a reduction of anxiety.
