Hannah,
At times a combination of Melatonin and 5htp work great for me, other times, like post ketamine (currently), nothing does. I had also tried prescription sleeping meds in the past and none worked until Dr. Shwartzman put me on Trazodone. It was great, no next day drowsiness.
It's an anti-depressant but also helps with pain and sleep. I just took the lowest dose and while on it, hadn't missed a nights sleep in 6 months. I recently stopped as my new doctor was concerned about serotonin syndrome but now I do seem to be having trouble sleeping again.

I've taken meds for sleep and just sick of gaining weight and getting the bad side effects from them like feeling in a fog all day while not even getting restfuk sleep. I just have nightmares all night long so what's the point? I've tried tryptophan,melatonin, 5htp, valerian root probably every herbal thing that promots sleep out there and now im just wasting my moolah. I could buy me a cute bag with all the money wasted on meds and stuff that doesn't work. Sigh... anyways... its nice to know im not the only one who doesn't sleep  makes me feel more rsd normal |
