Insomnia

Posted by Nicolas on May 05, 1998 at 02:30:43:

I'm suffering from insomnia for 3 or 4 years now.
3 years ago, I began to take some benzodiazepine which greatly helped me to sleep. But I didn't want to be hook on these things so I decided to give up. It was difficult but I
succeeded and manage to sleep correctly.
Sometimes, when I had some stress, it was not possible to sleep but I could live with.
But, for 3 or 4 months ago now, I have some trouble again.
I lie for hours and cannot fall asleep. When a noise awake me, I cannot fall into sleep again. I feel like my brain cannot swith off. So, with the sleep deprivation, I feel sad and depressed more and more. I tried to take some pills freely available in France (some light neuroleptics) but there's an accoutumance and so it's not a fair solution.
I cannot understand : my work's life and my personal's life are OK, I'm not in trouble and I'm considering myself as happy excepting this problem.
Is anybody has an advice for me ?
