criminently! thanks, i think my hunch is same, but i should correct that this week has been most stressful of the 3.
i am trying HARD to be ever hopeful, tho.
ambien never ever pooped out on me, but i won't dose every 4 hrs to equal 8. plus, i do think the abuse- potential with ambien is, shall i say, 'seductive' .... even tho my only illicit drug of choice has always been a stim (cocaine) & i never, still can't stand, the idea of being 'laid back,' much less zoned/ zonked out.
i wouldn't even have to take a sleep med if it weren't for the fact prozac is the only ad that still works for me... and (more importantly, believe it or not) doesn't make me VERY physically ill GI-wise .
i see melatonin mentioned on another thread - that's known to cause depression in those with major depression.
for those for whom magnesium works (NO calcium please!) what dosage is effective? valerian is out for me.
anyone have any other poop-out lunesta experiences and/ or suggestions for sleep? this insomnia has been going on for the better part of the last 8 yrs and is absolutely ad related ONLY in my case.
(dr. bob - i realize some of this is 'alternative,' but i am getting desperate, so could you please leave it here?)
