Hello johnny:about sleep... try some natural remedies such as chamomile tea.. , hot milk... a hot bath just before going to bed..
try some relaxtion tapes/cds listen to them in bed.. there are even tapes out there that play certain sound waves to increase the brains alpha waves(the ones responsible for the deep sleep we get)..
Acupunture has helped me soooo much with balancing out my sleep... iwas getting broken sleep alot through this and have since stabilized.wierd but at this lower dose of 2mg I am sooo tired in the am.. hard to wake up for work!! I hope that my insomnia dosent return after stopping completely.. but I will cross that bridge later...
I would hesitate to take a sleep med as once ;you take it.. how then will you wean off that? to me its just another med to have to come off.. and then you may feel anxious if you dont have it and your insomnia will come back??
I had sleeping pills when first on remeron ,, they didnt help me one bit.. still woke up in the night,, restless sleep and then i had this horrible metal taste in my mouth the next day.
I weaned myself off those meds a while back,,, and havent looked back..
like i said.. acupuncture was the best thing for helping with insomnia...Good luck
the body will balance.. thats what it was made to do

Hello Marian,

> I have not tried a sleep med yet. I have samples of rozerem but I hesitate due to some contradictions concerning depression on the accompanying info.

> About Lunesta, well, I thought of it but most benzo drugs made me more depressed and since they work on the same receptors my doc was not too thrilled about it. What is your feeling with it? I thought if I did take something I would only take it every 3rd or 4th night and may switch up different meds as not to let my body get too adjusted.

> Tonight I have hardly any anxiety, but do feel a bit down. Today was rather blah. I do pray for a good nights sleep. That feels so good to have a sound comfortable sleep.
