Do you have insomnia. I've had it for several years, I don't know why it just started happening. Fortunately a friend told me about a prescribed medication that works just fine.
shareI do not
Glad to hear you've found some help, Insomnia sounds awful
Sleep tight:)
I was chronically sleep deprived for 12 years. Too much pain, couldn't get comfortable for very long at all; about 2 hours at a shot was the most, tossed and turned the rest of the night.
Eventually, it affected my health to the point I had to do something, so my doctor wrote me a few prescriptions, one of which I've been taking to this day, along with a few OTCs. Sleeping well every night, usually about 7 hours. Life changing.
I don't have insomnia, (nor do I own it on Blu-ray), but my sleeping pattern is awful. I can't get more than a few hours, maybe 4, on any night. I'm amazed how 8 hours is what we're supposed to be getting. I haven't had that in years. Hell, I'll even settle for 6 hours.
shareNot really insomnia, but I am a restless sleeper. That's why I'm on MC all the time.š
shareI guess I'd say I sometimes have temporary insomnia. Occasionally I have a night or two when I just can't sleep. I feel bad for anyone who suffers from it all the time. Who needs the kind of stress that lack of sleep brings?
shareWhat medication? I would caution against using those kind of drugs long term. Getting off certain pharmaceuticals can be a hellish experience, much worse than insomnia.
shareI take Trazadone 100 mg. and 20 mg. Melatonin. They work for me.
shareI have been prescribed zopiclone and I was worried about dependency so my pharmacist told me to cut them in half. Most of the time I can get away with half, and if I really need a whole one (7.5 mg) it will generally work.
shareYes, that Trazodone 100mg was the only thing that helped me break my insomnia a few months ago. There was one time I went almost a week without being able to sleep one wink.
