To Dimonds and Iggy too etc....

[Guest guest]

Dimonds you make a great point here about the psych. I went to one of

those in Ca too, because I was not being treated appropriatly there

for my insmonia issues as well. Though I believe that Iggy can

probably get the sleep meds through a good Pain Dr as well, the Psych

doc is not a bad idea either. Klonopin is a good medication as well,

basically the Ambien, Xanax, Restoril etc are all in the same family

of drugs, and they are all pretty effective for sleep. For me though

I built up a tolerance to the Klon,Xanax, and the restoril, the

ambien has been the one that has worked the best over the long haul.

I tell ya, it sounds bad, but when you have this insomnia thing, it

can really bring your health down,down the spiral and with the

medication your able to sleep and it makes this HUGE difference in

your health ya know! So alternatives are awesome, but again,

sometimes we need a little more. The sleep meds I feel were

instrumental in my healing.

--- I dont know what to do, In my post to dimonds it explains it

all. I dont know what to do, I know that I will not be humiliated

for meds... I would rather quit them. pray that I find a doc that

cares and integrates natural in his care for me... Blessins, Iggy
