Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 I seem to have the same problem. My doctor even raised my Doxepin to 50mg to try and help me sleep. NO DICE !!! It is still 2 or 3 am before I can even think of closing my eyes. Naps dont do the trick for me either and I get scared that if I do nap that it will be that much later before I can sleep at night. I think I was meant to be nocturnal !!!!!! " May the last sound you hear tonight be a purrrrrrrrr " >^..^< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 I truly feel like the OTC brands work better than prescription sometimes !!!! I just get scared with all the other meds I take !!!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 ... you might try changing your sleeping aid to another brand. As for naps, I use to feel the same way. I felt if I did take a nap I wouldn't be able to get to sleep untill the wee hours of the morning. But, to my surprise, it has worked in reverse. I guess it's because I'm rested enough after taking a nap to get to sleep by 11:00 pm. Vicki-PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 ... that's wonderful that the OTC brands work for you. Everything I take is by prescription.... I recently starting taking clonazepam for the muscle jerking and the nerve tingling in my legs and arms. I just take a half tablet and I really don't need to take my sleeping pill..... I guess it settles all the muscles and nerves down and I drift off to sleep. The only way I found this out was I forgot to take my pill.... great mind I have.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 To all, There is a natural alternative to sleep problems. It is called Valarian. I take it because of the over load of estrogen that is still working its way out of my body. I would sleep for a few hours and then be wide awake for the rest of the night. It only took about 3 nights to take effect. It helps me sleep soundly but I wake up easily if one of the kids need me and there is no hangover feeling in the morning. My brother-in-law also takes it for sleeplessness that he suffers from a disease that affects his liver. His liver can't process iron. (Can't remember the name of the disease.) I take an 800 mg. tablet every evening. You want to get the tablets that contain only Valarian, not Valarian mixed with other herbs. Of course, no one should take this unless it is discussed with a doctor. It does work well, and is all natural. Just an idea.
