Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I’m having a nightmare finding a set of meds that sucessfully treat my bipolar disorder, does anyone have any experience/advice on this? I suffer predominately with depression and rapid cycling.
So i’ am talking the sleeping pills called LORAZEPAM to help me sleep and i just wanted to known if the Canadian force won’t take me due to the meds?
The meds were legally given to me by a doctor
I went to local store and no turtle sinus meds and the cat is very angry! I have leds on the dog but fear he will become depressed because the turtle always bites him. I cant afford the vet doctor right now. what do i do?
My meds are running out and I don’t have insurance because I just moved to a new state and I don’t have any money to get insurance so I was wondering, what are ways to deal with bipolar disorder without being on meds? Is there any way possible that I can control my moods without being on medications?
Is there a quick fix that doesnt involve meds or anything?
Hahaha thats kinda what i figured…He’s a little baddass though…thanks guys and gals
I’ve been on Ambien cr for a couple of years and it doesn’t put me to sleep. Sometimes I take two and it still doesn’t work. I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Are there stronger meds out there?
I see a psychiatrist for meds. I’ll definately tell him. It seems mostly likely I have just built a tolerance to it, as some of you have suggested.
I’ve had insomnia for 5-6 years. It’s gotten worse and worse. Some nights I sleep for an hour. Some nights I never get into a deep sleep at all. Once in a while i’ll get a good 7 hours of sleep but thats pretty rare. I had a sleep study, but I actually fell asleep pretty fast that night (very rare) so I don’t think they saw how it usually is for me at night. I’ve been to so many doctors but they all proscribe the same meds that don’t work or give me a set of things to do to have better sleep hygiene (which I’ve tried several times and it never worked). It’s really effected my life. I’m in a bad mood a lot of the time and don’t have to many friends because I’d imagine I’m not the happiest person to be around. I also totaled my car from driving while exhausted and not paying full attention to the road. Can anything ever be done for me or will I just have to live with this?
oops in the title I meant for without the extra e on the end. My bad. (See, its probably from being so dand tired!)
like…when i’m really tired (like now) i can’t go to sleep which makes me irritable now and the next day…what can i do?
and i don’t smoke or drink…(i’m not old enough) and after reading some of the replys (thank-you for helping but…) i don’t want to take any meds.
my husband has Bipolar and Add. I am having a hard time with him latley. He tells me all of our fights are my fault and if I would not be the way I am he would not blow off the handle? (example. yesterday I asked him to show me where the switch was on the ceiling fan and he got mad at me telling me that the blades are wear they should be and that I am an idiot. Because he knows what he is doing) I told him not to yell at me like that in front of my child ever again and he said it was all my fault that he acted that way. Is there something I am doing wrong. Or is this typical bipolar disorder stuff. We are seeing a marriage counsler and she told him if he thinks he needs it he should see his counsler again. Well he does not think he needs it and told me I was the problem not him. How can I save my marriage and keep him going to see his counsler. I do love him a lot. i just dont love the way he has been acting please help me understand!
He is on meds. He was seeking help and it was great then he stopped because the counsler said if he needs him call. Well he does not think he needs it because he knows how to deal with his disorder. But I really dont think he does!
We’ve been treating my son for ADHD for several years and have had problems with the side effects of meds. He’s now on Strattera but it didn’t seem to be helping this school year. So we’ve increased the dose twice (he did have a growing spurt last summer – he’s 14). This still isn’t helping. Well, in going over my symptoms related to possible sleep apnea with the doctor, I had an "ah-ha" moment that my son has the same symptoms. Low and behold he does have a disorder. However it hasn’t yet been diagnosed with a sleep study (coming up next week).
So I just want to put a bug in parents’ ears that if your child is being treated for ADHD and the meds are not working, perhaps you want to speak to your doctor about the possibility of a sleeping disorder.
But for my question…. Has anybody else experienced a child at school who absolutely will not do his work and found out a sleeping disorder was the cause? Please tell me about your story and if treating the disorder helped your child do better in school.
Yes, seeing an ENT and removal of tonsils and/or adenoids is the expected treatment. Thanks for responses!
I’m agreeing that sleeping disorders should be looked into before giving drugs for ADHD. I wish someone would have asked if my son snored years ago!
Thanks for all responses…hard to choose!
I’ve been taking Zoloft for about two weeks and even before taking the meds I’ve had trouble sleeping. I usually don’t fall asleep until 3 or 4 a.m. A friend of mine recommendedMelatonin. So, I bought it. Does anyone know if it’s okay to take with Zoloft?
Suffered for over a week and only had a few hours sleep each night if that. Having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Have had meds from the doctor but not helped. Have also tried the counting, relaxing, reading, lavendar, milky drink and a herbal remedy!!
Anyother suggestions
I have been on Ambien for about 2 weeks to treat insomnia… I know that you are not supposed to drink after taking these meds, but is it alright to not take the sleep aid one night and drink that night and then restart the pills again the next night? Does the medicine stay in the system so that I shouldn’t take a night off to go out and party a little? I don’t want to be risky.
My mom’s an idiot and she gave me the wrong meds. She gave me what she THOUGHT were two Simply Sleep tablets, but it turns out they were actually ambien. I’m 5’6, 140 pounds. Will I be ok?
i am 26 years old and have had fibromyalgia since i was 14 (!! i know!)
i was initially diagnosed when i was 14, but was so young and naiive, i shrugged it off.
about a month ago, i thought i had double ear infections and my jaw was killing me. i was diagnosed with TMJ. i started wearing a night guard and the symptoms have subsided for the most part other than occasional clenching.
i suffer from almost daily migraine headaches, dibilitating trigger point pain, brain "fog", i have battled insomnia since i was a child, occasional depression, horrible "bathroom" issues, and most recently, constant back (spinal) pain. there is some history for you.
about 1.5 weeks after the whole TMJ issue, i started to have these awful knots in my back in the "common" fibro areas. i could feel them when i breathed and every masseuse cringed when they felt them. i got two massages within a week they were so bad. i got no relief.
then, one day about a week later, they subsided for the most part (thank god!)… but they were seeminly replaced with spinal pain! the pain shifts between my lower to mid to upper on a daily basis. my doctor has tried me on at least 12 medications since then, none work. my stomach does not tolerate medications well and i am either puking or no reaction to the meds. i get no relief from anything.
i have found that if i walk "too" long… like, an hour max… i start to cripple in pain. same if i sit too long.. yesterday i cleaned house for a long period of time (6 hours or so)… and once i was on the couch resting, i could not get up… it is the first time i couldnt get off the couch or from a resting position and i am scared..i have never had an injury nor any accidents. i sit at a desk 8 hours a day.
my question is this. my doctor has posed that i see a pain management specialist. i have had xrays that only showed spasms (this was when i had knots, not when the spinal pain started). i am scheduled for an mri to ensure there is no slipped disc or anything. the dr has brought up epidurals and spinal "blocks"…. i have never had either. the thought scares me like no other…
sorry so long, but i am so lost about all of this. i’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts about my symptoms and about the proposed treatment. i am open to everything. thank you so much.
fyi, they ARE referred to as trigger points. it seems they use both "trigger" and "tender" depending on what you read.
