DallasMomofTwins 31 Posted October 2, 2011 I am just about 3 weeks post op and have had insomnia for the past week (hence this post at 2:50 am) anyone else have this problem? Anything that we can take? (like tylenol pm) thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jillw8 22 Posted October 2, 2011 I had the same problem. I take benadryl. Same thing they add to tylenol PM but cheaper. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swizzly 901 Posted October 2, 2011 I had insomnia temporarily after surgery for a while, but then I started sleeping again no problem, actually better than I used to sleep.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christin 54 Posted October 3, 2011 I am still pre-op, but when I am having trouble sleeping I take Melatonin. You can experiment to see which amount works for you. I take one to get me to sleep and 2 when I can sleep in (because it will knock me out for 10-12 hrs!) I have used Benadryl and Tylenol PM also in the past, but the Melatonin doesn't leave me feeling groggy in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsC 0 Posted October 3, 2011 I am here to "second" both of the above suggestions!Just after being sleeved, I was having trouble sleeping for more than 3 hours at a time. My surgeon told me to take Benadryl -- which is a great sleep aid. It is available as a liquid (children's version) and often there is a store brand that is cheaper. My husband swears by Melatonin. Good luck to you and sweet dreams! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
