That's poo, Mike I am hoping to sleep better now I'm not stressing about Dad
they are both powerfull short acting meds.Justicexhaze said:30 mg of temazapam (spelling?) and 2mg xanax...but still can lay awake and stare into the dark.
As a side effect of all the meds that we're taking is diffucuty in falling asleep. Its so maddning that the insurance company will not pay for your cimzia.i am glad i found this thread. i was having this time period when i was just so exhausted that i could take a nap in the middle of the day and still go to bed at a normal time. now, i am finding i still get tired, but i am not napping as much. however, it is also taking longer for me to actually go to sleep. glad i am not the only one!
I find I wake up @4am-5am - then have trouble falling back asleep.....usually by 9pm I am ready for bed - but not always.....doesn't matter what time I go to bed either - could be 9pm, could be 1am - I am still up @4-5.......
Ambien does work for me, as does benadryl to get me to sleep.....
Have you tried Ambien CR (Controlled Release)? It's supposed to release throughout the night to help you stay asleep.Maybe they could combine some drugs to help me get to sleep and then another to stay asleep? What I wouldn't give for 8 hours of unbroken sleep. Its 2 am here and I'm wide awake. I've been up since 10 am after sleeping only 4 hours.
Sorry I didn't get back sooner, I loose my way through theses threads sometimes. Anyway, I've taken Ambien before, a few years ago, and it left me feeling hungover the next day. If I remember correctly, it made me a little irritable, too. That might be because I'm also a recovering alcoholic and the hangover feeling would make anyone cranky. LOL. Restoril does not have the after effect, but I don't think it's as strong. It does not seem to be working as well lately as when I first starting taking it, so I don't know if I'm building a tolerance. I'm still getting my meds adjusted. Anyway, I would try to talk to your Dr. and see if they have any samples so you could try it. Good luck and sweet dreams!I've never taken that. Do you know how it compares to Ambien?
