Oh my gosh Alleykat, I wouldn't go to a doctor who would tell me to 'ignore my sleep disorder'? I'd high tale that doc in a moment!

I too suffer badly with sleep problems! I can't relax enough to fall asleep as my mind races constantly. Then when I do manage to fall asleep and I toss and turn for a moment, I wake straight up and I can't fall back to sleep again. Its ruining my health as I am in such a way with depression, anxiety and severe body pain!

I've tried Ambien and it only helped me some. I did not like the way I felt after taking this medicine for a week as my depression got worse.

Now I take on occasion, Ativan which my psych prescribes! It helps relax me some. I still haven't got a good 8 hours sleep in over 10 years and this is a horrible condition to suffer from!

Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you...like a Dr. first!
