One night I took one Benadryl. Did nothing. Took two the next night. I slept a little better. I tried melatonin one time a few years back and got so sick off it I've never considered it again! It's strange that Dramamine worked but not Benadryl. Benadryl is actually what Dramamine breaks down into. I asked her about taking Unisom or something like one of the prescription sleep meds but she felt Ativan was a better option. She put me on it in the psych hospital last year and it helped tremendously. Hopefully it will work again.

I am taking my husband up on his offer. He is truly my rock at times like this. If I didn't have him, I don't know who I would lean on for support.
