Re: Zoloft to Paxil & Sleeping

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I can definately relate to sleeping problems! If I sleep deep it

takes a lot of pain meds and, at least, 2 hours the next morning

before the pain eases enough for me to function.

I was taking Sonata but it stopped working for me. Now my regular

doctor prescribed Ambien; howbeit, it makes me feel hung-over the

next morning and I'm groggy half the day. So I wind up not taking any

and staying up 2-2 1/2 days and when I do fall asleep it's not

restful at all. I've considered a ballpeen hammer but I'm afraid my

rockhead would only break it! lol

Take care all and may HP Bless!
