What is a good sleep med? I am going to call pdoc on Thursday
 

Hello,

I'm going to call the pdoc and ask for something that puts me to sleep.
Over a 6 month period I have averaged 4.5 hrs of sleep a night (not counting about 2 short naps a week).


I need sleep.
Should I make a recommendation to pdoc?

Is anyone here taking Seroquel?
Is anyone taking Zyprexa?
What else?

Thank you.
I need some help.

Seroquel knocked me out, but I take trazadone for sleep. Used to take elavil but trazadone works wonders compred to elavil. :) I sure hope you can get some good sleep soon Mari! When is your pdoc appt? Mine is today. :)

I think either med is a good suggestion, seroquel daily or as needed, zyprexa only as needed to really knock you out.

I am glad that you are thinking about taking a new medication...it is worth your effort to try.

He's going to call in Lunesta.


I've got a low fever -- feel like I have a cold or something.
Depressed.

Good luck with the Luenesta.

Will be thinking of you.

i hope the Lunesta works well for you Mari. perhaps even just taking it for a short course of treatment will help.

What about Tafil ?? (Alprazolam)

Ive heard good things about it... :confused:

HI,
My fever was over 100F for a while.
When hubby got home from work I sent him back out to Walgreens to buy something for nausea so I could keep down Tylenol. He made ginger tea too. Fever is lower thanks to the Tylenol.

Pdoc seemed to think that we might have to go through more than one med, but that we would start with Lunesta -- I didn't pick up the script yet because I was too sick today. And I don't want to test out a new med when I feel sick.

(Well I'm not convinced yet that I am going to try the Lunesta anyway. I'll try to talk myself into it tomorrow).

(Chloral Hydrate) I doubt if they will prescribe it. They prescribed it for me in the 80's,and it put me to sleep. They use all of these new drugs like seroquel,and etc.now BF:hug::hug::hug:
