[QUOTE="Momslittleangels, post: 372077, member: 905"] Are you going through perimenopause or regular menopause? Insomnia is certainly a side effect and the doctor just renewed my Xanax, because I was having trouble staying asleep. I have never tried the Ambien though - - - I find that 1/2 of a 0.25 mg Xanax puts me to sleep without waking up feeling like I have a hangover in the morning. Another thing I have heard that works well is writing down everything you have pending for the next day/week, such as: buy gifts for birthday, clean kitchen, go to the bank, food shopping on Wed, etc) before going to bed. By writing things down, it is supposed to help purge those details from your mind, so you can forget about them until morning. Not sure if that really works, but it makes some sense to me. We have all of this stuff in our head and think about it, so we don't forget to do it, so maybe try writing them down before you turn off the light and see if it helps. I hope things get better, but I sure had to giggle at your story, unfortunately. I think anyone that has had insomnia can relate to the junk that goes on in our minds when we are laying there staring at the ceiling. [/QUOTE]
