My pdoc gave me 100mg of hydroxizine for sleep. It worked the first 3 nights but not any more. Back up every two hours wide awake. So lately I have been avoiding naps. I refuse to get out of bed at night and I will stay up until 11:30 or so and not get out of bed until 8:30. I also try to do as much as I can during the day to wear myself out, exhaust myself so I get better sleep at night. But I'm still waking up 3-4 times a night this way. I'm not on hydroxizine since it doesn't work. My primary doctor advised against using sleeping meds as one day I will become immune to them and will cause me to never get good sleep and than he scared me about death due to lack of sleep. Not a good idea since my biggest concern now is my anxiety. But I stopped the hydroxizine for sleep and am taking up exercising and such to get tired before bed. I push myself until I feel like I can't stay awake any longer, I make my body tired, and I seem to get somewhat better sleep at night. I don't know though if this is the safest bet.
