Dear Alli~
I was prescribed 20 Ambien (10 mg.)for my first experience w/WB.
Big Help! I cannot function, even minimally, on low sleep. The Ambien did the trick and my side-effects lessened with time.
But I never took/take the WB after 2-3pm. It's just not worth the risk of a sleepless night. Remeron In combo with WB can promote terrific sleep. But Rem made me ravenous (24 hours a day), so I dropped it.
You made have to take a hypnotic, a benzo, a couple Benadryl or a sedating AD, just until you break back in to the WB routine. It took about 2-3 wks. for my sleep to regulate.And seriously, do not take the WB late in the day. It can be a Rx for sleep disaster.
I hope you are feeling much better very soon. I am pulling for you!

> The sleeping pills aren't working now. I've been taking 30 mgs. before I try to go to bed and I feel so tired an hour after taking them (sooner now than I haven't been able to eat) but sleep is still elusive. When I did wake this morning I felt so ill, an effect the sleeping pills had been having as I've had to take them more than twice a week.
