In reply to Sleepytime suggestions, anyone?, posted by Penny on December 2, 2003, at 13:55:52
Hi Penny,
I always have trouble sleeping, it's not the Paxil, it's me.
Ambien works for me- 10mg, I take it only if 50-100mg of Trazodone doesn't do the trick.
I didn't have much luck with melatonin. Though my husband takes one and he's out for the night. I probably didn't take enough of them to be effective on me.
Try turning your alarm clock away from the bed. I find it easier to fall asleep when I'm not staring at the clock all night long. Plus the room is darke without the glow of the red LED readout in my face.
On nights when nothing does the trick, I get out of bed and read or watch TV until I feel sleepy again.
I hope you sleep well.
