What do you do when sleeping pills do not work?




I have tried EVERY sleeping pill. (literally)
I am now on the maximum dose of Lunesta.
It no longer works and it’s only been a week.
when I take it I’m not even tired or able to sleep.

What should I do and how can I get some sleep?!
I have tried all the benzodiazepines.
Does lithium put you to sleep? are there any Other Types of meds that might work?

I suffer from extreme anxiety and depression. I used to stay worried, nauseated and tired. I am taking zoloft which has eliminated the nausea which is great but I still get sudden anxiety attacks . You know the gut wrenching ,tightness, and fever type. I also cannot sleep at all .I cannot get my head to stop or slow down . It is constantly thinking. Any help would be appreciated . Any new meds maybe I havent tried .

Insomnia - any sufferers? any Cures?




I suffer from the kind of insomia that makes it extremely difficult for me to fall asleep. No matter how tired I am, it takes me hours. Have tried many things over the years, from reading to hot milk with nutmeg to sex to meditation to tv to physical exersion etc. Nothing works. Had some success recently with listening to audio books, but now i seem to have developed an immunity to those as well. It’s driving me crazy, sometimes I don;t even try going to bed. oh, and a slightly odd side note - during the day i can fall asleep in minutes. does anyone have the same problem and/or a suggestion on how to tackle it? it’s driving me nuts *sigh*
suppose I should add that I don’t want to take any meds. I’m an ex drug addict… kinda want to stay away from that sort of thing for now.

Last year I went on my very first flight, an international one at that. I learned that I can NOT fall asleep on a plane for more than 5 minutes or so. I am about to take the same trip to Sweden from the US again this summer and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks or know of any good OTC meds that might help with sleeping but won’t make me drowsy when I wake up?

I’ve been having trouble sleeping and was wondering if I could not only take valerian root but also melatonin at the same time?? Would this be safe? Or should I just take the valerian root?? Insomnia is starting to hamper my days. I’ve tried the prescrip. meds. and I don’t like the way they make me feel.

I have Insomnia, and year round allergies/sinuses. I used to take Benadryl before bed every night, I slept a lot better and the allergies were gone, but now it doesn’t work. I need something else, I can’t afford perscription Insomnia medicine, and percription meds for allergies such as Zrytec, don’t work. I always hear about NyQuil/DayQuil, I am open to suggestions!

Sleep disorders?




Not sleeping well at night, I suffer from Atrial fibbrelation, I take Digoxin, Beta Pace, to slow and regulate my heart,these meds are now at the maximum possible dosage and I started having brief bouts of a-fib again I take .1 milligrams of xanax 3 times a day to slow me down so I dont overtax my heart,my heart rate runs 40 to 60 B.P.M. during last bout of full blown a-fib heart rates hit 326 B.P.M…. I thought that I should sleep like a rock but only average 4 to 5 hours sleep a night and it is restless sleep. I also take Vytorin to lower high cholesterol, this leaves me constantly tired and with severe muscle and joint pain and often headaches. I am going back to Doctor but wanted feedback from anyone else who may be having same problem.

How do you deal with insomnia?




I don’t want links to websites about insomnia or suggestions for different types of meds. I just want to know how other insomniacs like myself deal with it. How do you deal with your day at work/school? At the end of the day what do you do to help your body fall asleep?
