Hi LL,

Since I sobered up I've had insomnia for almost 2 months. I wake up around 2 to 3 am and all the meds just wear off. I've tried ambien, Valium, and muscle relaxers when my back hurts. It's gotten so bad that I've started clenching my jaw and the dentist said I need a mouth guard. I've cut back on my adderal, don't eat at night, read and turn off the tv. All to no avail. I'm making an appt with my pdoc to see if trazodone will help. That treats depression, insomnia & anxiety.

I feel your pain. It's driving me fecking crazy!! If you're taking steps to counteract insomnia and they don't work I'd see a pdoc. Are you under a lot of stress or anxiety? I used to have bad restless leg syndrome and talk a lot in my sleep.

Peace & Hugs,

TnT
