sleeping....at last

Posted by Not so Tired anymore on November 08, 1997 at 18:41:20:

I have had several bouts with chronic insomnia (see Tired 10/26/97),which usually lasted a few months at a time.
I have also been through many tests and more than a few drugs. Now, I am happy to say, that I feel I have found something
that works, at least for me. While I still cannot say what brings the insomnia on, I know that having it brings much anxiety
at bedtime, so my Dr. prescribed Ativan. It's a low dose, .5 milligrams, and after taking it for 4 evenings at bedtime I am happy to say I've been
sleeping well for almost two weeks now, the past week without even taking the Ativan. I guess the anxiety over not being able to sleep just worsened the insomnia. I hope this info
is helpful to someone and thank you, Shelia for all your suggestions.
