I've been struggling to get quality sleep for 6 months now. It's so frustrating not being able to stay asleep, as I'm sure many of you know. I take 20mg of nortriptyline nightly, but it hasn't helped my sleep issue. I asked my doctor if I could try adding melatonin to my routine and he said yes, but I would probably be very sleepy. Well, this is exactly what I want. Despite being sleep deprived for the past several months, my brain is oddly awake. It's like I can't get it to sleep. I will sleep from 11pm-2am and then feel "awake" for the rest of the night.

I'm wondering if anyone has had success using melatonin with nortriptyline to aid in their sleep? I have no problem falling asleep, I just can't seem to stay asleep and it's driving me crazy.
