Re: Sleep disorders

[kaijinscendre]

Various over the counter sleep aids. I don't want to try any of the prescribed stuff because my sister and mom have both reacted badly to ambien. I have tried meditating before sleep, listening to nothing (never again), listening to music (meh), and listening to white noise (which I always do now). I work out and such so I don't think that is a problem.

There are a couple of things which you may want to also try if you're afraid you might be sensitive to diazepines (which make up most of the prescribed sleep aids, though there are others). I'd caution you that neither of them is something you should really take habitually, but here are some options:

Lorazepam (Ativan) often has drowsiness as a side effect, though it is mainly used as an antianxiety/antipsychotic medication. You can ask your primary care physician about this one, though it's more of a last resort measure than something you should be using continually.

Good ol' Jim Beam (or liquor of your choice). It's perhaps not ideal, and not recommended if you're on other medication which might interact with it, but a shot before bed is a time tested cure for insomnia that might work well for you. It's also not likely to be harmful if you stick to one drink per day, and if you don't want to go to the trouble of asking for a prescription then this might be a solution for slightly more regular use.

I hope you find something that works. Insomnia is a serious problem and can be incredibly damaging to your overall health if it's not brought under control.

PS. Not that I think I need to particularly, but I should caution that you should never use any combination of non-prescription or prescription drugs and alcohol together as a general rule. I would hope that this is common sense, but I'll just leave this as a PSA.

I don't really drink that much, maybe once every three months or so. :P My family is made up of addicts (of various stuff) and I just don't want to take that chance. :|

Re: Sleep disorders

[herpymcderp]

I'm sorry to hear that. :/

All the same, I hope you can find something that works, because prolonged sleep deprivation can be just as bad for your body as drug addiction (in some cases probably worse, actually).

Re: Sleep disorders

I have just resigned myself to a life of being always sleepy.

It does not help I don't drink anything with caffeine. D:
