Any hope for restoring my ability to stay asleep? Sleep maintenance is a problem. Doxepin and Trazadone leave me significantly depressed the following day. I'd rather sleep 3 hours a night than feel like hating everything about living by using those meds.

I'm working with a therapist on cbt-i. This article was helpful in understanding the process. Regarding the next day side effects - it isn't sleepiness that I feel. I feel rested but my mood is depressed. My therapist and psychiatrist both seem to think I mean sleepiness and that isn't the case. I suspect it has something to do with the effect upon the histamine receptors. I don't think as much is understand about the role of histamine in depression as with other neurotransmitters. Thank you for the response and information!
