Hi All,
My pdoc believes I'll feel better if I can sleep more/better. She was wanting to give me something. I told her I wanted to hold off on adding another drug and try other options first.
I find I'm waking up in the middle of the night or entirely too early, thinking negative, worried thoughts. I'm still half asleep and too tired at that point to get up and do anything, or to try to talk myself out of the negativity. This leads to suicidal thoughts and sets the stage for a day of exhaustion, inability to think, and depression.
At the moment I take Lamictal, a dash of mirapex, a dash of atenolol, and some xanax as needed.
Any suggestions? Melatonin may help me fall asleep, but I don't make it through the night. Niacinamide makes me sleepy, but I don't make it through the night. Might increasing the dose of niacinamide help? Does anyone find that valerian helps sustain sleep. Other ideas?
Thanks,
Emme
