Yeah, you really DO need to talk to your doc.

Have you tried anything herbal? I forget what all you've taken.

I've used Melatonin to help me sleep, which works. Also used Valerian, which helps and has a bit of a muscle relaxant effect too. Then, too, I've tried Kava Kava, which you hardly find anymore. It has the effect of shutting down your brain, a bit of a muscle relaxant effect, and there is a possibility that it can affect your liver if you take it for too long.

When I used to work at a hospital (middles and a lot of nights), my inner clock would get all screwed up. Sometimes I'd have to stay awake for 24+ hours to reset it. Be up all day (say 0600), up all night, see morning, and then go to sleep around 9 or 10 p.m. the next night. By then I was so tired, felt like everything was really heavy in my body, but I could sleep.

Have you tried staying up like that? Maybe THAT will make a little difference for you--at least short term.
