Beth.. Well Yes 2 doses, I honestly just take 2 big swigs outta the bottle... and I immediatly go laydown, A few times I have take another swig but no more and I like my Kidneys and Liver too much to risk it. I tried the ZzzzQuil it didnt even give me a long blink.
The only time that I actually got a pretty consistant amount of sleep daily. I was on 800 mg Seroquil and either Xanax or Valium.. But well the Seroquil caused weight gain and it began to fade with sedative side effect in 4-6 weeks. I have Seroquel here of all doses, Zyprexa, Abilify, Thorazine, Haldol,and probabaly 5-10 more
So I have a large amount of meds that I can try.. Nothing works for me for more than a couple weeks so I seldom take them. I need them when I am on day 4-5-6 of no sleep.. It sucks, alot
I remember being young 7-8 years old? My Mother would find me awake in the middle of the night and whoop my azzzzzz over it.
Even years later my brain is just afraid to fall asleep but thats due to my csa, I had one of those "Uncles" So honestly altho all that I have processed. My T Richard and my Pdoc think that my overwhelming fear from the PTSD will always be a factor and ill probably not ever get sleep daily. So I take what I can and if need be snow myself totally under.
Now with My Husband having more health problems I am finding sleep harder to find.. But I do what I can when I can ..
Hope your able to find sleep
