Sleep medications

i don;t but my sister takes ambien and says it makes her feel worse when she wakes up

Yes, I take sleep medications as I have an illness as well. I could not get to sleep without them. One weekend I went away and forgot to take my pills with me. In two nights I got about 4 hours sleep - if that. I take Nitrazepam. Not a very popular one but it works for me. I think it works with the codeine I take for pain. If I feel drowsy in the morning it is not from the medication but it is from the illness. I do not get into Stage IV sleep therefore I am still tired when I wake up. I tried lots of medications until I found the regimen that works for me. I don't want to change with these new medications coming out because I am afraid of getting side effects. I was on Celexa for three days and spent the whole three days in what felt like a constant hangover. I got off that med pretty darn quick!

I was taking Lunesta, but I have switched antidepressants. I'm now taking Cymbalta and find that I don't need sleep medication anymore. It's wonderful to be sleeping naturally again!

I am thankful to God, Who blesses me with sweet, deep sleep. No, i do n't take any medicine for sleeping. I slept in the evenning in mine childhood and till today, i feel in the evenning that i should sleep now but i remain get up till late at night now.

I do not take sleep aids. Sometimes I drink menopause tea. It has something in it to help you to ease into sleep. It is all natural. I think it is valeria root. I do not feel groggy in the morning when I do drink this. It does help me to fall asleep and rest better once I am asleep.

Personally, I don't like sleep medication. I do however take Melatonin. It helps relax my mind and body to help me fall asleep and it doesn't make me wake up feeling groggy.

I have had to once and that was when I was diagnosed with my Illness and I got in a State I would not take them long as they made me feel horrible I had no control. Now I would never be aloud to as I stop breathing in my Sleep so it is a risk but I would never take them again anyway

Sorry for your illness. Sounds like your doctors are making sure you manage. No, I do not take sleeping meds. I do make sure I avoid caffeine late in the day, I get good exercise, do not be around bright lights or computer monitor or tv too late. I sleep in a dark room that is not too warm. A hint I learned when working with the elderly, and it is something I do except when it is very hot, is to put soft warm socks on. Studies have shown that it increases the time and depth of sleep. I find it seems to helpme, as well. Sweeter dreams to you.
