I don't know where this topic would go, I suffer from anxiety and depression for decades and sleep was always my best friend. I love sleeping it's an escape. But for a year I have increasing problems to fall asleep. I am tired, I eant to sleep I am exhausted but I can't. I can't fall asleep. For a year. Now it's 3 am I am so tired I want to die, I just want to die. I have rls also which is gettiing worse it doean't help. I was misusing some sedatives but now even that doesn't help and I cant get more so it doesnt matter. I am so so tired My head is full of thoughts it wont stop it never stops.

I'm sorry you are having so much difficulty with this. Getting to sleep, as well as staying asleep, has been a problem for me as well. I take 25 mg. of Trazadone before bed. (I'm also on 1.5 mg of Clonazepam.) The Trazadone's not a cure for my sleep-related problems, but it helps. I've tried increasing to 50 mg. a couple of times. But it made me groggy the whole of the following day. So I cut back to 25 mg. again. I hope you are able to find something that will work for you as well. Best wishes...

Hi people, thank you for advices. I've been to doctor today and got sleeping pills and some Xanax, but I don't think that's permanent solution. I believe you can't take sleeping pills for longer period of time, and also Xanax causes addiction. So, I will have to find the cause for my insomnia. It might be depression and anxiety, but insomnia just makes them so much worse.

My husband just started taking melatonin and I cannot believe how effective it is. It scares me a little! He was going through a phase of insomnia where mind racing was not allowing him to sleep. Now he is going to sleep at a normal time and waking up bright eyed and bushy-tailed. Here, it is something you buy over the counter in the vitamin/herbal supplement aisle. I don't believe it is addictive like sleeping pills but I share those concerns and am not sure I could bring myself to try it.

Thank you, but I tried Melatonin first. It worked for some time, I used it for months, and then it didn't work anymore.
Maybe I overdid it or something? I feel like I have to much anxiety to fall asleep without serious aid. |
