Okay, uh I guess I have sleep issues and I would post that here. Sorry if that's not right. I have a lot of trouble getting to sleep at night for some reason, I think it's because I never stop thinking and moving, I just can't relax. I'm always going on about the same things and walking around the house and then it's magically morning. Eventually I do get to sleep most nights and I can't stay asleep for more than twenty minutes, I'm violently shaking and moving in my sleep and that's waking me up, at least that's what my friend said. And yeah, that's my sleep problem, it's making it really hard to do things in throughout the day. So yeah, thanks for reading if you did, I hope it's not too long and boring. I'm just kind of sharing I guess. Sorry if it annoyed you.

Hi LL,

Since I sobered up I've had insomnia for almost 2 months. I wake up around 2 to 3 am and all the meds just wear off. I've tried ambien, Valium, and muscle relaxers when my back hurts. It's gotten so bad that I've started clenching my jaw and the dentist said I need a mouth guard. I've cut back on my adderal, don't eat at night, read and turn off the tv. All to no avail. I'm making an appt with my pdoc to see if trazodone will help. That treats depression, insomnia & anxiety.

I feel your pain. It's driving me fecking crazy!! If you're taking steps to counteract insomnia and they don't work I'd see a pdoc. Are you under a lot of stress or anxiety? I used to have bad restless leg syndrome and talk a lot in my sleep.

Peace & Hugs,

TnT

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel a lot better soon and can start to sleep. I have heard of the damage alcohol can cause to your sleep, again I just wish you the very best.
Yeah I guess I'm seeing a psychiatrist and they'll prescribe something if this continues. I suppose I am under a lot of stress, I never really think about it but the smallest things overwhelm me. I guess I should focus on that.
Thanks very much, thickntired . Best of luck to you.
