When I got the insomnia, it was diagnosed as anticipatory anxiety--anxiety about sleep. Mostly, it's that one day I stopped sleeping and, because I was finished nursing finally, I could sleep again, but I just didn't.
I tried a bunch of meds, including trazodone + xanax, but the traz. pooped.
The Serzone is to keep my anxiety in check. It used to help me sleep by itself, but when there's a situational problem, I take Sonata to sleep--not really to be knocked out cold but to simply fall back to sleep.
Now, I am somehow unable to do that, as I wake up and lie there for hours.
Now that the sonata doesn't work, I am on to Ativan. I am frustrated and very tired.
I'm sorry for you. I don't know how I'd have lived on three hours. I might have killed myself, in spite of how I feel about leaving my beautiful daughter. You are very brave and strong. That's admirable. Thanks for reading.
