>hey marian29, try acupuncture for insomnia... it helped me... or try some herbal remedies,,, much safer than meds of any kind.
good for you for not wanting to depend on another med for sleep.. believe it or not you willnot die from lack of sleep... the body does kick in. keep up the exercise..
oh ya, warm milk,is a natural sedative, valarian tea,,, self hypnosis,,, lavender essential oil. a long hot bath,, try swimming at night ,
hope this helps you out girl
take care

Glad you're doing well, Johnny! Hope the anxiety doesn't get too bad for you.

> I'm off completely as of a week ago. No depression, manageable leve of anxiety--but it's almost impossible to sleep. As I start to drift off, I wake up in a panic, and this happens over and over again all night. I tried Benadryl, but it didn't work; my doc gave me some Ambien, but that makes me horribly down and wiped out the next day--it's not worth it.
