> Frenchy:
I sympathize with you on the issue of curing insomnea without the use of prescribed medication.
I have been fighting the sleeping issue for a couple of years now. I have reached a point, like you, were enough is enough! I have turned to natural meds along with prescribed meds. Something to try would be "Kava Kava" which helps to calm you down. As well, try drinking some herbal "Sleepy time tea" I find that taking the latter two along with a lower dose of prescribtion meds has helped me fall and stay alseep. This does not cure the problem but it does alow you to take less of the damaging presc. meds. I have yet to hear of someone going throught all the side-effects you haave described from taking natural substances. No worries, I'm not all that convinced myself about this route but it is worht trying. You have nothing to lose!
I hope this helps. Any more questions, just post a new thread!!
