Insomnia anyone?



Recommended Posts

I love the sex Idea... IT does work. IF I wake up in the middle of the night, I wake him up and in 10 minutes we are back to sound sleep.< /p>

Good idea!

I have been suffering from horrid insomnia. ...I should have slept like a baby, but I was awake at 3:30, wide awake!! Does anyone else have this problem? I have suffered from insomnia all my life and have yet to find something that doesnt leave me with a "sleeping pill hangover". What can I take for this? Something has gotta give.

I have had this my entire life also. Weight loss greatly magnifies this effect for me. I have tried every known sleep inducing agent that has a short half life, yet they always leave me with the "hangover" or they simply stop working altogother.

My solution? Low dose lithium, we're talking 75mg, 150mg, maybe a max of 300mg (as opposed to the 900mg-1200mg range which is for bipolar). It can even be used every other day. It doesn't work instantly, I allow about 2 weeks for the effects to become noticable.

At these doses it will not sedate you, but it will keep you asleep without feeling drugged. Also, the effects at this dosage are drastically different than those attained at high doses (lack of weight gain, etc).

And I don't have bipolar, nor does it run in my family, I just happen to have a history of long enduring insomnia.

My doctor put me on Lunest and that is one nasty tasting pill. You have this metal taste in your mouth for at least 12 hours. I just will not take this anymore. I'm going to call Monday and have him call me in some Ambien. I brother takes it and loves it.

I started suffering insomnia when I almost reached my weight goal. I believe that as you get thinner you feel better and get Hyper. I was unfilled 2 months ago and regained 30 Lbs. and started feeling sleepy and started sweating and feeling hot. I just had my fill 2 weeks ago and started loosing weight and started to feel better in terms of activeness.
