So, anybody here on anti-depressants

Hey all,
Just wanted to ask because I trust most everybody here...Here's the question.
I've been battling Sleep Eating Disorder for ten or so years and have come to the end of my rope. Just heard that there's a new school of though that battles this with the use of anti-depressants, and it works wonders.
Problem is for me that the ex-wife was so hopped up on Zoloft before we split, that she hardly ever talked to me, much less ever spent the night in our bedroom (she liked the couch).
Anybody here either currently taking or had experience with the Prozac/Zolft stuff, a pm would be greatly appreciated.
Before all the HARHAR crazy jokes go out, this has been a bigger stuggle for me than anything in my life. I walk around in my sleep like a zombie and cook, yet cant remember anything.
Been trying to work this out for a long time, and this seems to be a good option.
Thanks,
Rick

Thumbs down please pardon my logic rick

but couldnt you put a locked door to ->the kitchen area....
or locking the bedroom door....
perhaps you've already tried that....
i was trying to think of a non drug taking approach....

i don't recommend you take any drug especially prozac....
there's always side effects.....and they are all bad...

a friend of mine was on that crap....and he couldnt even remember

that i had come over to pay him a visit....talk about scrambling your brain.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the support, but the problem with my problem is that I do it in a complete catatonic state...I can't remember a thing and it happens nightly!
Luckily for me, I don't leave the house!
Been talking to thereapists and shrinks for years; these days, however, they're not treating it as such a fringe syndrome anymore!
Wish I could quit, tried the lock (I seem to open it), tried a bell (I got the door open without it ringing), and everything else...Mom and Dad are sleepwalkers...somehow it got by Mikey!
I've been reading into it a lot lately (not feeling like so much of a freakshow anymore).
Later,
Rick

Sorry I can't help ya!!! I am very fortunate that I do not take any drugs , not even aspirin at my young age of 59 years young!!!!

If you want to be a walking Zombie then take anti-depressants!!!!!

It seems today that everybody is on some type of meds, even kids!!!!!

Two tears in the rotor cuff in the shoulder a month ago, doctor says: do ya want a silicone shot : No Way!!!! Do ya want to operate: Not unless I have to!!! Hopefully will heal in the next year!!! did the other shoulder two years ago!!! Healed by it self!!!

Rickbomba!! bite the bullet and get on with your life!!!

And do not just blame your wife for your misgivings!!!!
