Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have been unable to fall asleep for a week now. I have tried over the counter PM meds and nothing seems to work. The only thing that has worked is Ativan. But I am reluctant to take it each night. I work full time and really need to go to sleep at a reasonable hour, but my body just won't let me. I have SMA III and am reluctant to take too many different kinds of pills. My Dr. has prescribed me Ambien, but I am not willing to try it as I have heard many negative things about it. I stay up til about 1am watching tv and them give in and take some kind of med of which Ativan is the only one that seems to work. Nothing traumatic or major has gone on with me lately, I excersize as much as I always have throughout the day. I just can't understand why my body can't go into sleep mode. Has this ever happened to you?? Any suggestions in helping me fall asleep and stay asleep throughtout the night? I know that with SMA they say to get a good nights rest to recharge the body, but I haven't been able to do that in a week and I am afraid it is going to make me weaker. What do you think?
