Re: Help, Can't Sleep, Help/ and that's just the 1/2 of it. don't know what to do/to sleep perchance to dream

[Guest guest]

I don't know how it might help but my shrink actually

told me yesterday to go and get a good quality of

melatonin and take 6 mg at bedtime, it did help a bit

last night. she also told me to try it with out any

sleep aids (I take ambien CR) and if the plain

melatonin did not work , then take it with the Ambien.

I will be doing that tommorrow.

I took 3mg of the melatonin today cause i was just so

tired and slept for four hrs with out moving.
