Anyone experiencing trouble sleeping after surgery?
OMG, yes yes yes! For me I would purposely take my pain medicine late. Then I realized I probably didn't need it anymore. So, I talked to one of my doctors I talk to for anxiety. She said it could be a reaction from the anastesia (sp?). It can effect your sleep. I ended up getting a prescription for Lorazepam. I have only had to take 1/2 pill at night. It relaxes me enough to where I can fall asleep. I had this same problem after I had me daughter (although I didn't have anestesia). This has helped both times and was not permanent. You can also try ZzzzQuill (it is newer, same as Nyquil without the cold medicine, just the sleep aid)
