I've joked about starting a blog for months now and finally jumped in with both feet, the waters chilly ;). So I've had trouble getting to sleep for years, but it's got dramatically worse a little over a year ago or so, and the doctors just can't seem to get me any help; my mistake I thought that was their job. Then again, I did read on a "medical" website last night that insomnia is NOT a disorder it is a complaint. A broken arm isn't a disorder either, but you can't live with it.
So here's what we've tried:
1. vitamins
2. a regimen
3. melatonin
4. tylenol pm (all otc pm meds)
5. ambien
6. ambien with trazadone
7. trazadone
That's pretty much all I can remember at the moment and none of it has worked for more than a week. I have to say one gets pretty loopy when it takes 5-6 hours to fall asleep and you can only sleep for 30-45 minutes at a time. I am currently blessed with a job I don't have to get out of bed early for thank God.
If anyone out there has any suggestions or experiences they'd like to share I'm listening...after all...I'll be awake!
note: fell asleep after 4am
