suffering from insomnia for 2 years

Posted by Juice on November 06, 2002 at 17:56:37:

Iam 41 yrs old,two years ago I took a graveyard shift and my sleeping disorder began, getting only 2 or 3 hours of sleep during the day thinking it would get better in time. I kept at it, eleven months went by it never got better it only got worse, I was awake for five nights in a row so I took ten days off and did not go back to the graveyard shift. since then Ive been suffing and dont know what to do. I have tried antidepressants phsycotics and now Iam on amitriptyline 150mg & benadryl 50mg, I sleep now but feel drugged up in the morning, I fear this will stop working and I will have no place to turn, Iam in fear all the day at work and before I go to bed, I fear it will kill me some day, I Pray God will surround me with love and take this from me. Ive never been able to live for God the way I feel I should, so now that I really need God in my corner I feel God is not there for me now. I do not beleave Iam phycotic or suffer from depression. The sleeping disorder came first then the depression and anxiety, I do not want to be on pills, two weeks ago I started accupuncture once a week then I try to go off pills but its not helping yet, so I need your help, if anyone knows something I dont please respond.God help us all, Jesse.
