The night before:
meds did not work. Did not sleep at all. Did sleep during the day. This past night: the meds did not work. Did not sleep at all. BUT NOW I CANNOT SLEEP DURING THE DAY, and I have a bad headache which is not a migraine. What do I do? I need to leave for a trip tomorrow. I need to leave at 9AM, drive for 2 hours, spend some time there, and drive back, alone. I am so much afraid of another sleepless night! Should I try to be in bed at least or should I try going outside? |

Can you take melotonin? My sister brought me some when she came out, and after it ran out, it amazed me how poorly I now sleep. I only took the 3mg, and it really did help (and I work shift work and NEVER sleep.)

I used to take Melatonin, but then it stopped working. A few medications stopped working on me as well - benzos, Trazodone...
... I am fine now and back to sleeping normally. I was able to figure out that the crisis was caused by extreme anxiety. |

When in deep insomnia, a boatload of Benadryl and Melatonin will take me down. Definately empathize with the anxiety.
Hope tonight is sweet dreams. Pa |
