> Hey Everyone,
> I am having a terrible time falling asleep at night. I am afraid that I will have terrible nightmares like I used to. I just got out of the hospital for cutting and I am on lots of meds like Seroquel and Effexor. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO HELP ME FALL ASLEEP?

Medusa, talk to your pdoc. Also, you might want to try kava kava or melatonin or relaxation exercises or the usual sleep-inducing things (do relaxing things in the evening not stressful or energizing things such as exercise; go to bed same time every night; keep your feet warm; drink warm milk; whatever helps you sleep). For me, just opening an old college textbook about chemistry puts me right to sleep! Seriously, I know it's hard, because I have had trouble sleeping with Effexor-XR. After talking with my pdoc, I take a small dose of Serzone at night, and some melatonin.--Cindy W
