it definitely helps with depression. today i am almost high. I didn't sleep that well but i did sleep on and off. I looked for my card case for over an hour so that might have interfered with sleep.. I couldn't rest til i found it

Bobby,
Do you think the 6mg's caused the "high"? I know you mentioned it came 3mg's and 6 mg's. Is this a capsule? Or is it a tablet where you might cut the 6mg's to more than 2/3's of the tablet. That might give you more like a 4 - 5 mg's rather than 6mg's? Just a thought...

This is a med I have not heard of before. Hope it continues to be of benefit, my morgy! :yahoo:

i just love the pill. i got another good night sleep. i went to bed early and woke up at five thirty. I didn't get a refill yet. something about the insurance co wants to speak oi the psychiatrist. I hope it works out. I would be so frustrated if i finally found a drug that solves my sleeping problem and helps my depression and some thing gets in the way.

wow this is such a good report. Hoping it continues to work for you and that the insurance company can get approval from your pdoc or what ever they need.

thank you. it didn't work last night. I was too upset. I don;t thin the insurance company will give it to me.

I have a Medicare HMO plan and looked up Silenor. It has a quantity limit, so that is the probably the issue. Your doc may still be able to resolve that issue with the insurance company though.
