Hi Jellyfish, I have tried every thing you can think of. I have changed my diet entirely, I force myself to get 60-90 minutes of exercise a day, I tried melatonin and Vitamin D, I have tried meditation, that's just a short list, I really have tried everything. Medication is the only thing that helps.

I can do 10 miles in a day, work 10 hours, and have no caffeine all day, eat as healthy as possible, and still sleep only for an hour, or worse, sleep for a couple of hours and then awake to sleep paralysis, or worse, sleep for a few hours more but have terrible terrible horrifying nightmares all night long.

I am not against medication, so please don't try and shove that down my throat. I believe medication can be effective in helping people recover from these disorders. There was a time when I was on one medication, but over time, had to address other issues with additional medications. I would love to get back down to one medication, but my quality of life was so poor, I would rather keep on the meds to keep a certain quality of life.

Thanks for your input though. If you have any insomnia remedies, I'd be interested in hearing them, although I have tried almost everything ever heard of.

Also, I have been doing some research, and the memory loss I'm speaking of and other symptoms actually can be symptoms of depression. So I think Mike and others may be right that because my stress level has increased so dramatically, these new symptoms are coming out.
