I am getting about 5 to 6 hours a night. It's 2 hours less than I used to get. I'm easily fatigued during the day. My meds are Cymbalta 60mg at bedtime, Lamictal 200mg at bedtime, Ambien 10mg at bedtime. In the morning it's my BC pill, Campral 666mg 3 x a day, a multivitamin, Evening Primrose Oil, and Chelated Magnesium (these last 2 for wicked PMS).
I am also prescribed up to .25mg xanax as need during the day. I find that as bedtime approaches, my mind speeds up and nothing seems to calm it down. I play meditating and soothing CDs, I wear a lavendar eye mask, I try (in vain) to be aware of my breathing, try to relax each part of my body in turn. By the time I've tried all this I'm ready to get up and start cooking breakfast.Any ideas?
