Hi, it's Wasif, your Pharmacy Dad from iCare Pharmacy! In today's video, we're diving into a less-talked-about class of medications that can be incredibly helpful for managing sleep: antidepressants.

We've previously discussed hypnotics and benzodiazepines, but today we'll explore how medications like Elavil (Amitriptyline) and Trazodone can improve your sleep without the same level of dependency. Many patients are hesitant about using antidepressants for sleep, often saying, "I'm having trouble sleeping, but I'm not really depressed." This is a valid concern, but did you know that the doses used for sleep are much lower than those used for treating depression?

If you're struggling with mood and anxiety and finding it hard to sleep, antidepressants might be a beneficial addition to your treatment plan. Join me as we discuss the benefits, concerns, and how these medications work to help you get a better night's rest.
