Re: Re: TRAMADOL and SLEEP

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I take tramadol and either .5 or 1mg of lorazepam for a good nights sleep.

it works for me. I can't take any of the wholistic stuff, i get all nauseous

from them. Melatonin only worked a few times. And the couple of times that

nothing worked, believe it or not, warm milk with a little sugar or honey

knocked me right out. I know, I've said it before, I'm strange. LOL, Hope

everyone is having a nice day! I'm totally in pain the last few days. My hips

are

back to being painful. My lower back is stiff. My fingers are all swollen,

but I cannot stay still. I don't see my new rheumy until July 30th.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people

who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't and believe that

everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance take it. If it changes your

life, let it. Nobody said that it would be easy.

Happy 4th of July!

I have been on Tramadol for at least a year and it helps make me

drowsy. Also do take 3mg Melatonin most nights and also drink chamomile

tea which helps, too. Might try the Tylenol Arthritis for my joint

pain. My rheum also gave me amitriptyline to help me sleep. Right now

take 30mg of it since 40mg makes me dizzy.
