Hi Abbie,

I hope your pdoc is reachable today - at one clinic or another.

When i can't sleep due to thoughts racing like that well... Ambien... hehehe... like sugar candy. it's a short-acting drug only to shorten sleep latency. it doesn't affect racing thoughts, or anxiety. The RxList monograph lists 10mg as the max daily dose also, so any pharmacist could not tell you to take more and anyway it is not the right drug here.

Like Mari, benadryl gives me a paradoxical reaction - yikes that's two of us. What about you? Have you taken it? If you have not tried it before, i wouldn't chance it right now.

If you cannot get hold of your pdoc today and still no sleep, do consider ER. Let someone take you rather than driving. You will need to bring ALL your scripts - bring the bottles.

Also make the list as far as your symptoms before you go, of the stuff i mentioned in the last post. Otherwise it will be too easy to get confused once there.

Hon, I really think you need a pdoc, now. If your clinic will not give you a number to reach your pdoc today, please consider ER.

One last shot...do you have any dosages of meds that you are allowed to take PRN???? if so post them... let's see what "the house" offers...



My sleep is all over the map right now, but at least it's ON the map somewhere, and enough of it!

Sending you peaceful thoughts.
