Insomnia

Okay I am heading into my 3rd week of not being able to sleep!!! I fall asleep at like 5a.m., then up by 7 to get everyone ready and send them off. I feel like I am losing my mind and my eyes are burning something fierce, but even if I go in to try and grab a nap I just lay there.....Any suggestions, besides a horse tranqulizer?????

Are you pre op or post op? Can you try some lavendar oil or perhaps some warm milk or turkey for the tryptophan? There are some drugs you can take: lunesta, ambien, good luck to you. ANDI

Thanks Andi, I will give the Lavendar oil a try, the other 2 haven't worked, I am pre-op, so I think it may just be excited nerves, but it is getting old quick!! Thanks again!

Hi, I know how the lack of sleep is a problem in itself! It's terrible sometimes. You can try this new sleep aid called Rozerem. It is a lot milder than lunesta and ambien. Be careful w/ambien b/c some people do strange things on it and do not even remember. Good luck!

Is that a prescription??? (Rozerem)

Yes it is! or shall I put:

I will give my doctor a call and see if I can get some. Thanks!

Sorry, don't really have an answer for you. I am suffering from lack of sleep too. Just can't seem to shut the brain off........lol. Good Luck, Betsy

I know!! Just turning in circles! Thanks Betsy good luck to you too!

Noralynn I am taking Ambien CR, I have no troubles with it. Lunesta made me get that HORRID taste in my mouth that was just so bad. I tried Rozarem and that did okay but I found I could not sleep solid on it. I would call your Doc and see what he says. I think we are all a bunch of nerves right now, lol (((HUGS))) We are so close!!!!
