Teresa,
I had the same problem when I was on Dex. This is what I did so I could sleep better.
Took it early in the morning, then went back to bed until my eyes popped wide open. (About half an hour.) Then made a list of things I had to do.
Never take it after noon, you will never get to sleep.
I switched from the 15 mg Sustained Release to the 5 mg tablets. The less you use the better.
I tried to plan everything important that needed to get done after I took my pill. and tried to stick to the list. If I didn't I never got anything done.
I exercised in the afternoon (if it wasn't too hot).
Drink lots of water, it helps flush the stuff out of your system by the end of the day.
Go to bed the same time EVERY day and get up the same time too.
I take Klonopin to sleep at night (restless legs). You might ask far a mild sleeping pill so you can get a decent night's sleep once and a while.
Good luck,
Emma
