I can relate to so much of what you've written, particularly when you've tried to tell the doctors, "I have 4 children, did the up all nights. . .this is different." And no one listens! People are the same way with a diagnosis of allergies -- no one takes it seriously even though allergies can destroy lives.

I don't know about you, but I tried Lunesta and it made me VERY depressed and down during the day. Yes, it helped me sleep, but the downer that followed was not worth it. Check the side effects of all your meds very carefully. One anti-depressant I was on caused insomnia. Cruel ironies abound in this area. Is there some way you can go on disability?

Good luck to you, Dear Heart.
