Know what you mean about feeling tired all day then not sleepy when going to bed - it's cruel. With me it's like I can't get my mind to settle into switching off. I'm actually sleepiest between 8 and 9 am just when I should be up and about! Interestingly the best night I had was after I had the all clear from my bone scan last Tuesday, I slept straight through to 7:30am (sadly not been repeated since) so I think anxiety is still lurking about and some depression now too since I'm getting fed up with it.
Good luck with the endocrinologist let us know know what the outcome is.

No, I haven't increased my dosage. I take 2-3 droppers of liquid melatonin. Have now for at least a year and more. My sleep issues are more seasonal and also middle age stuff. I want to go off of melatonin, but I don't know when. I think in the summer I will really try not to take it or taper back and see what happens

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |

I've used melatonin in between prescriptions and it has helped greatly. I am prescribed Lunesta though.
