Hi all

Just looking for alternative to using sleeping tablets. My pdoc said that the risperdal and lamictal should help with sleep.

I been having trouble sleeping, getting to sleep is ok. But I keep having broken sleep and it's starting to take it's toll. I have tried Nortem and Zopiclone but still get broken sleep.

Spoke with Pdoc and she wants me to go back and use Nortem with the other medication. I would prefer not to and as I said looking for alternative any suggestion appreciated. My meds are starting to increase and I am hoping to keep then to a minimal. I do need to get a good night sleep, I am only getting 3 hours and then it's broken sleep until morning. My pdoc advise me not to get up when I wake and to stay in bed. I do this every morning clock watching while trying to get back to sleep. I am starting to feel stressed and irritable on top of been depressed.

Thanks for suggestions in advance.
