I've been having a horrible time falling asleep and staying asleep. I'm up at least 2-5 times throughout the night and its starting to take its toll on me. I usually wake up and start the whole going to sleep process over again; having a snack, reading and then falling back asleep. But, I'm back up again within an hour or two.

My psychiatrist prescribed me Trazodone, which I probably won't ever take again. It knocked me out, but I couldn't get my brain to wake up all day today. It brought back old symptoms from earlier in my recovery, and some new ones. I was having symptoms of delirium today and every time I stood up, I felt like I was going to black out.

I take Gabapentin before bed - that helps me fall asleep, but its not keeping me asleep throughout the night.

Has anyone tried Melatonin?

What other options do I have? I'd prefer not taking another sleep aid like Trazodone.

Thanks everyone,

Nick
