[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 131371, member: 1233"] I have not slept well since sometime in childhood. Not iwth anything for very long. I do find that if my mind is racing it helps to have a pen and paper and write down what is racing through my empty head. Then I can relax and know I won't forget anything. WalMart has a lavender baby was that is around $1.25 a bottle and is very soothing. I have taken Ambien. Taking 2 is something MY psychiatrist warned against. It does not increase the lenght of time you will stay asleep and increases the risk of getting up and doing things in your sleep - eating, talking, walking, driving, anything. This is called retrograde amnesia. Ambien CR is the extended release version and will do more to keep you asleep, if you tolerate regular ambien. Lunesta is supposed to have a lower risk of sleep-activities. It can make you wake up with a really nasty taste in your mouth. Remeron and elavil are older drugs used for sleep. If ambien is not something you can take, maybe one of these will work. Personally, if I take 1/2 of a 25 mg elavil I will fall asleep in a couple of hours. To wake up another 2-3 hours or 20 hours. I oculd never get the dose adjusted to give predictable results. Remeron just knocked me out and kept me out - and when I woke up I was groggy groggy groggy. I hope you can cut down on the mt dew and nicotine, at least until you get this straightened out. Susie [/QUOTE]
