Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I assume typical side effects listed on their websites are for first time users, but if I already got over the initial drowsiness and dry mouth, and have resigned to take allergy medicines a few times a week for the rest of my life, are there any known side effects I might suffer decades from now?

I’ve tried all the antihistamine medications and none of them really worked for me except, Allegra 24 hour antihistamies. if i forget to take a dose, my eyes get really itchy and swollen.
Do I have to take this medication for the rest of my life?
My wife was diagnosed with manic/bipolar disorder six years ago and we are still struggling to find all aspects of stability. It is finally taking a severe emotional toll on me and I worry that I will spend the rest of my life as more of a caregiver than a spouse. Our marriage is in trouble.
In working to help her deal and live with mental illness, I worry that I have not found adequate coping skills to help me deal with the illness as well. Sometimes I feel like the spouse of someone with Alzheimer’s–watching helplessly from the outside as we become less and less recognizable to one another.
I empathize with those who suffer from mental illness. What of their spouses? What resources are available to us so that we also can retain a measure of mental health and help our loved ones find the balance they need?
ok, i’m 24 and have a problem sleeping. its always been a problem since i was 14. the only time i actually slept was when i was pregnant. i’ve tried diferrent alternatives-working out, minimizing sodas, for two weeks i jogged 2 miles non-stop-still nothing. i havent gone to the doctor. i know i should but i dont have insurance. i took sleeping pills and i slept like a zombie. so, now i’ve just kind of been used to sleeping late and wake up early. my mother did suffer from insomnia for years and years. she also tried everything and maybe about 2 yrs ago she gained control of it. i can only assume that i will suffer from this for the rest of my life. any suggestions?
Aw… geez…
every night i always try to sleep but i only end up getting up again
i feel really sleepy and tired and my eyes are drying out but to no avail
i simply cannot sleep and my mind starts wandering around which makes sleeping become even more difficult
this all started when me and my wife got separated…
i couldnt eat, nor sleep, and i felt as if my world has ended…
as if i could never smile again…
some time has passed since then
but every now and then i still get this insomnia…
i dont have any lovelife recently and i dont think i will have cause i find it very hard to move on…
is there a way to cure this?
or do i have to live with it for the rest of my life?
I’ve got sleep apnea, which means I stop breathing several times each night and wake up gasping for air. I’m used to it. But the problem is that I am not sleeping well because it is getting interrupted so much. My dad has had a CPAP for 5 years and both of his parents have one. I will probably end up getting one as well. I plan to have a sleep study done over the summer, at which time they will analyze my body throughout the night while I am asleep. I know that if I have one I will be using it the rest of my life. My main question is how often would I have to change the tubing and the facemask? Would I have to change them at all?
This is the type of mask my dad and his parents use: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3DCpap%2520machines%26fr2%3Dtab-web%26fr%3Dybr_sbc&w=500&h=333&imgurl=static.flickr.com%2F70%2F154016843_14d712a212_m.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Ftattootom%2F154016843%2F&size=83.2kB&name=154016843_14d712a212.jpg&p=Cpap+machines&type=jpeg&no=4&tt=1,943&oid=d34cdd81836d5d3e&fusr=Tattoo+Tom&tit=The+Ever+Faithful+REMstar+CPAP&hurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Ftattootom%2F&ei=UTF-8&src=p
I do not see my worries and stress reducing anytime soon so I think I need to be more drastic.
However, I do NOT want to take anything which will be required to sleep for the rest of my life. I have heard that Melatonin is not addictive and I have some available now but I wanted to make sure…
Btw my problem is not with staying asleep, its getting to sleep. No matter how tired I am, I always hear my 1 hour sleep timer on my ipod switch off but I force myself not to open my eyes and ‘clock watch’ so I could be lying awake for much longer.
I am a 30 year old female and have had sleeping issues going all the way back to my childhood. It interferes with every single area of my life. I was on ambien for 3 years but got off of it because I didn’t like the idea of having to take a pill for the rest of my life. I tried Melatonin, Lunesta, Sonata, EVERYTHING – ambien is the only thing that works. I’ve been off of it for close to 3 months and my life feels like it’s spinning out of control. I can’t sleep at night, sometimes (like tonight) pulling an all nighter and starting off my morning without sleep. I really think I will end up on ambien again, just for my own sanity. What’s the point of being off sleeping pills but HATING my life because of my sleep issues? I’d rather have to take them and have a normal life again. Will it shorten my life expentancy if I take Ambien everyday for the rest of my life?
