I definitely think Chinese medicine is a good choice. I got into it when I lived in Ca. because it was readily .
I'm allergic to diphenhydramine so he recommended either melatonin, Ativan or ambien. Melatonin was my first choice but I never made it out past a week of not sleeping....now I'm sleeping more like 6 hours ...I just wake up at four am.
Pdoc doesn't know what to make of it...last year he just told me it was aging(gee thanks). Now that its gone away and come back its harder to explain.
