I have issues sleeping; it's been over 5 years now. My problem is that I can't fall asleep, but once I do, I can stay asleep for multiple hours. Right now it's 5:22 am and I haven't slept all night and I have to start getting ready for work in about 1 1/2 hours. Went to a sleep clinic and had studies done and everything. After all the time and expenses I was diagnosed with.... .... insomnia. I'm not kidding, I went to the doctor because I have insomina and he tells me that tests shows I have insomia. Anyway, since I have tried many sleeping pills, from Trazadone to Ambien, he gave me a combination therapy (I'm taking three different pills right now) and it's not working. So, in additon to medication, I have tried aromatherapy, acupuncture, yoga and meditation, hypsosis, sleep therapist (who just gives me tips on how to improve sleep like cool room, no caffeine, no electronics (yeah, I know I'm breaking that one, but I'm bored)), excise (which only makes me hyper), please know I've tried anything I could think of. I even took these natural pills that smelled and tasted horrible.
I'm serious, if you know of something that could help, let me know. I'm desperate, this is affecting my everyday life, not just at work, but also my personal life.
Oh, and I'm tired in the day, but around 6-7pm, I get so much energy, it's crazy.
I thought zaleplon was the drug most prescribed for difficulty getting to sleep but not staying asleep.
I know when you start out with zopiclone, you can sort of sense mentally during the day after the night you take it that you have indeed taken something, but it also makes you feel you have more (mental) energy (you don't feel so tired) in the evening of that day.
I know how horrible this is and painful as well. I too suffer from this insomnia last 1 year due to mental stress. I am slowly trying to come out by avoiding the mental stress and worries. Try to take deep breath when u get stressed and also take nexitoplus 0.5. Do you know why you got this problem at first place.
Don't know the exact reason. I suffer from depression since I was a teenager (many moons ago but also for work, I travel internationally often so I change timezones constantly. However, in the past year, my travel has been minimal. I'm currently taking Triazolam and Gabapentin for sleep. these are not working at all. Took them about 7 hours ago and have not felt sleepy at all tonight.
Good to hear that. One small help to give off my depression. There was an negative opinion that intruded my mind when i was young, that brothers in a family grown and aftet certain time (say after 35+) their reading capability will face some problem for any of them. Even it seems to be illogical, I am seeing if its actually happening any where.
Do you know any brothers having any issues or any brothers even after they have grown old still happily reading and face no issues.
I doubled the sleep medication and after 2 days with no sleep, I was able to sleep for almost 7 hours. But honestly, I hate the idea of taking such a high dose of my sleep medication, don't think that's healthy.
