Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Also found Calcium helpful at night with the magnesium to help rest. Holy Basil (OTC) has also been helpful to take the edge off and sleep with NO side effects. Finally found out I have sleep apnea. The insomnia was aggrevated by medications took for panic disorder and bi-polar and allergies/asthma. Since you have insomnia, talk to the doctor about a sleep study...feel that that is the cause of the " fibro " - inadequate sleep - restive sleep that helps the body heal.
