Sleeping Relatively Late. Why? On Antidepressants. Normal?

Hi, I ve been forgetting to take my antidepressants (I think I m on 20mg) of Cymbalta as I ve been sleeping in relatively late (waking up about 10-11am? sometimes later) and I completely forget to take my antidepressants, it s been about three days of not taking them but I started taking them again today and I ve been feeling a little dizzy? Is this normal?

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

First take your medicine daily and regularly on time. Irregular treatment may be cause for your dizziness.

Your total sleep duration appear to OK for me. Main problem is disturb sleep wake cycle. SLEEP HYGIENE will help you. You can get steps of sleep hygiene from healthcaremagic website or google search.

If not relieved then you can seek medicine for it from your psychiatrist.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.
