I no longer sleep. For years my body fought sleep, but these past few months have taken a turn for the worse. Long story short, doc put me on 100 mg of Trazodone and four months later it stopped..so I tried taking three melatonin PLUS zzzQuil together and nothing..Doc then put me on 30 mg of Restoril..first night it worked, then nothing..started taking 50 mg of trazodone a day and the Restoril at night..worked for a week then stopped..was told to take the 50 mg of Trazodone together at night with the Restoril..worked once then stopped...For four days I took 150 mg of Trazodone a night, worked some but stopped..finally Doc put me on Ambien, worked the first night, then last night nothing. I get about two hours of sleep at night if I'm lucky, and it's not two hours of straight sleep. I don't know what to do anymore..Everyone is like "stay positive"..it's hard to be positive when you're as tired as I am. I don't drink soda anymore, nor eat candy..I go to sleep the same time every night, before one in the morning. I exercise an hour a day. I don't have a raising mind at night. I'm exhausted, then I lay down and it goes away. I get up move around, get tired and then lay down and it goes away again. Doc said I will more than likely have to do a sleep study..but what I want to know is if it's nothing physical then what else could be wrong with me? I asked my doctor that and all he could say was "well it's nothing mental"...I was like "ok, and you live with me?"..idk.
