Yeah I can't turn off either! It's so annoying. I take klonopin 4 mg. but it only works if I can relax enough to fall asleep...it does keep me stay asleep. It's allegedly supposed to help with my anxiety, but my body processes meds very fast and I told my pdoc it never has from Day 1...even tho allegedly that is a lot of klonopin.

I was given Doxepin as well but I tried it a few times, along with the Klonopin, and I can't tell any difference.

Do you think the melatonin does help you sleep, but knocks your system off kilter? I was told to try it but haven't yet.

Yes, the melatonin helps.. although it doesn't make me tired initially, like I'll take it and still feel the same and will think that it's not going to work but I'll lay down and just happen to fall asleep. Although it seems to have lost a bit of it's effectiveness.. sometimes it doesn't work that well.. I've been taking it for about 3 months now. I guess your not supposed to take it all the time but that's what I've been doing till recently. Also it's best to try to sleep within 30 or minutes. But yeah, you should definitely try it, it helps!

frustrated...I want someone to go away but I have to see him, I have no choice, argh...he's just so charismatic and endearing that it makes me want to
I guess that's why I have liked him for 12 years.

Tired, at the moment. Felt quite depressed earlier, but now I feel more-less emotionless.

exhausted.... after a busy day yesterday i planned a duvet day today, but things didn't quite work out like that ... a parcel to collect from the sorting office before noon, a carer who insisted on me getting dressed and downstairs for my breakfast at 9am and a visitor at 2pm... oh well no rest for the wicked as the saying goes!

I woke up furious. Then I felt completely powerless for awhile. Now I just kind of feel like I'll be able to get through the day just fine unless someone says or does something I don't like. At which point I will blow my gasket.

Good morning all, this morning i feel good I had a nice lie-in until 9am, then rushed out to put the rubbish out (just in time, as the bin men had just got to the end of the road), and am now browsing online with a cup of tea.
I hope everyone has a great day!
