> Jerry that is miserable. What else do you feel comfortable in taking at bedtime? What have you discussed with your doc. I'm sure you have. Love Phillipa ps I get them too and hate them. Ruins the next day for me.
Jerry,
I am a lifetime dreamer -- every night pretty much regardless of what I do or dont do. I tried Ambian once and it was as though Stephen King had moved into my head!!!
A great threapist once told me "dreams are just that -- dreams. The wisest thing you can do is learn to accept them and just chalk them up to what they are, and get on with the day".
What I have found that works to minimize (note I say minimize) the nightmares is a small dose of Ativan 0.5 mgm and a cup of warm milk -- the old tryptophane thing really works.
I will pray for you Jerry Hope things improve
