Glad you feel some relief NowhereUSA. Hope the new med does better, but don't be discouraged if it has other problems. Let doc know so you have an aware guide that can tweak the process further. Finding stable ground is the hardest part but it does happen.
In the meantime, there is a relaxation you can do as you are trying to go to sleep. Laying down in a comfortable position, feel your toes and feet and breathe into them and feel them filled with light or warmth. Then when you are ready move to ankles, lower leg, knees, thigh, etc.
By the time I get to the head and scalp I am usually very relaxed - sometimes I fall asleep only part way up. No problem. Soothing new age music helps too.
