> It's me I'm talking about initially on 15mg of valium with .5 of xanax at night. But they have seemed to turn on me and I cut .25 off valium. Are you saying MVI's cause insomnia in you? Seriously as I just ran out of them and haven't refilled. Taken them for many years. Do you know what the connection is ? Thanks Phillipa
Hi Philipa,
Ok, now I understand. Thanks.
If you cut valium, it should only be 1.5mg. If you cut Zanax, it should be .2.
The logistics are another issue as it depends on the med.
With the multivitamin, I am taking, I suspect it may be the vitamin D as I read somewhere that it inhibits melatonin production, which is needed for sleep.
So I took just 3/4 of the dose instead of 100% and slept. Unfortunately, I didn't feel so good in the afternoon.
Geez, balancing supplements is like what I did with meds. It never ends (smile). But in all seriousness, compared to my experiences with meds, I will take this problem any day.
To answer your question, I think it depends on the multivitamin as whether it causes insomnia or not. The one I was taking previously never did. But I really think it was ineffective.
