A member asked:

I have m.d.d with insomnia but antidepressants caused severe daily sleepiness & dizzies. my d.r tried ssris & snris in long term. whats next?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider CBT: I suggest counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy by a certified clinical psychologist. Newer medicines are available; however, almost all antidepressants have side effects. A team approach with your PCP is the best option.
