I’ve been clinically depressed and stricken with associated insomnia for over 10 years. I’ve tried a lot of different medications, yet nothing seems to work consistently (or the side effects are too severe). I can’t financially afford any type of therapy.

What else can I try at this point?
I do run about an hour a day, yet it has no effect at all.

I’ve had insomnia for 5 months. I am currently on my 7th day of being awake, and have only had 4 hours real sleep in 10 and a half days. I know that I will have probably got some sort of REM sleep without realising.

But when do other insomniacs finally fall asleep? Last time I slept after my 8th day, its just that I don’t feel that bad today, so I am guessing I could go on for another 2 days or more.

I have struggled with insomnia for years. I have tried taking OTC medicines such as Benadryl, melatonin, cough syrup, etc. I have also been prescribed Ambien, Ambien CR, Rozerem, Lunesta, Valium, and I am currently taking Tizanidine. None of which have helped me in the least. I see no effect from the medicines.

I have also changed my diet, exercised more, taken the television out of my bedroom… etc. Nothing so far has helped.

Does anyone have any suggestions for medications that have helped you that I could ask my doctor about? I’m desperate… anything will help.

Thank you =)

Does anyone have any tips to help me with insomnia. Sleep deprivation is not a fun thing to live with.

I don’t like taking pills and would love some natural / alternative solutions to this problem.

Thanks in advance.

From time to time i get insomnia, where i can’t get to sleep for the whole night and my eyes will water continously, thus disturbing my sleep even further.
Last night this happened to me, causing me to have a HUGE banging headache when i woke up.
I would really like to know why i get this from time to time? I’m 15 years old if this helps.
thanks

This is my fifth day on 25mg of Sertraline(Zoloft).

I have had a few minor symptoms on it, some of which are starting to go away.

But there are two particular symptoms that are an annoyance. They are:

1. Restlessness
2. Insomnia

I’m wondering if anyone else had these two symptoms, and how long it took for them to go away.

So… it never really registered until right now… Is it possible that my insomnia (not stress related, or new, I’ve actually suffered from it for over 10 years now) could be affecting my ability to conceive?

I will, of course, research, but if anyone knows right off that would be great, thanks.

I’ve developed this insomnia, which I’ve never had before from a needed medication. I have a week until I can get in to see my regular doctor and am wondering if you have any tips? I’ve tried all the natural ways, (no stimulation, no caffeine, no sugars) and went so far as to drink 2 glasses of wine after not drinking for 2 years, nothing has worked yet.

I have two children and am running off of almost no sleep every day… any suggestions would be appreciated.

About two weeks ago, I began having heavy problems with sleeping. It has dropped from the usual 6-7 hours first to 5, and now I barely even manage to get 3 hours! Last night I first felt asleep for 1 hour, then I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt like my brain won’t let me sleep, and I felt nervous, so I tossed and turned for about 2 hours in order to get another 2 hours of sleep. I feel extremely bad, I am sweating a lot, I feel like my balance is a bit messed up, and sometimes have mild muscle contractions. It all came out of the blue, for no reason at all. I wasn’t under any stress

Is this sFI possibly? Or just a normal insomnia? I am 20 years old, and I heard there were some cases of this in their 20s.

When I try to sleep- I feel like I am drunk (I don’t do drugs or alcohol). I am also suffering from Insomnia but when I sleep I feel like I am heavily drunk and 8-9 hours of sleep pass like 1 second.

I told my mommy about it and she just laughed and said it must be the food.
Should I go to the doctor?

Is my mommy putting something in my food to heal my Insomnia?

8-9 hours of sleep feels like 1 second whenever I go to sleep.
