You are right, as always.
I might need to call my primary doc and ask for something to sleep. I took Unisom with doxylamine succinate(the other type gives me restless legs) at 11 and I am not tired at all 4 hours later.
I will contact my primary doc and see what I can do. I really don't want to go back on Remeron as sleeping 12 hours sucks and it has some dopamine antagonism which is what got me in trouble to begin with. Ambien is out of the question. My daughter took it once, and she went really crazy. Trying to coax her into the ER she flipped me onto the pavement and she is a skinny thing. There is no way I would risk it with my daughter and grand daughter living with me.
Do you know of anything that works but doesn't cause craziness like Ambien?
