Just go read all the comments of people that have taken the drug. That is all I'm going to say. It is not the fine print but the life print that matters to me.
These drugs are believed to possess similar abuse potentials. Ramelteon (Rozerem), works differently in the body to treat insomnia. It is not considered to be a controlled substance.
Zolpidem (Ambien) and eszopiclone (Lunesta) have been shown to reduce the time until sleep occurs and increase total sleep time. The sleep induced by them resembles natural sleep. Ramelteon (Rozerem) has shown to reduce the time until sleep occurs.
Specifically, the delayed sleep phase syndrome. He prescribed Ramelteon to help her fall asleep at night. So far, the sleeping pill seems to work but in a subtle way. If she does not prep herself for sleep, sleep will not come. It has gotten so bad that she cannot remember the last time she slept and felt rested.
There is a bit more to it then just a sleeping problem. I am not sure if this is related to it but she has laps of time where she can't remember specifically what she did.
I'm on Victrels, but have same symptoms, over-tired muscle feeling, but getting muscle cramps less this week, by increasing my water.
I am so busy, during the day, that I make up for getting behind on my water consumption, by drinking it thru-out the night, because my mouth and throat feel dry, and I feel dehydrated- not good!
So, of course, I go to sleep around 11:30, and then start waking up at 3 am 4 am 5 am 6 am..to pee.
You seem to have chronic insomnia. The first step would be to rule the causes for insomnia like sleep disorders. Next it is treated with both medical and non medical therapy. Medical (sedatives) are given in the temporary initial phase, this is combined with non medical measures like sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy, stimulus control, and sleep restriction which are referred to as cognitive behavioral therapies.
As a nurse you know that when we take a sleep aid it will eventually need to be paid back with some insomnia. Try to look at it as temporary. Your sleep WILL return. Avoid using OTC sleep aids other than Melatonin. A hot bath before bed will do wonders. But do expect a few days of rough insomnia. During that time sleep when your body says and forget about "bedtime" sorry to say. You will need some sick days from qwork to go cold turkey off the pain meds.
I am only 20 weeks but for the past 3 or 4 weeks I have a hard time sleeping and staying asleep. Ive really never had insomnia before but man it stinks. I had 2 hours sleep last night and 4 the night before. I'm exhausted but can't sleep. :( may have to ask doc about pills. ... I do hear as far as comfort that maternity pillows help a lot. Good luck to you.
Yes me too. I've always had insomnia but I've taking things for it and now im trying not to take anything. What really helps is their is an app called sleepy sounds. Its basically a white no is machine. I put the timer on for 3 hours and use the rain sound. My husband hates it so ill lay in bed and he falls asleep and then if I cant sleep within an hr ill put in on and im usually asleep within 10-15 min.
So I am only 4 weeks pregnant. And I have horrible insomnia. Generally I take a benadryl(no name brand) to help me fall asleep. But I just recently found out I'm pregnant. And I'm not sure if it's ok to take. What do you guys think?
I suffered from insomnia before I got pregnant. My first trimester I had no problem sleeping because I was always tired. Now at 32 almost 33 weeks I fall asleep between 11:30-12:00 like I did before I got pregnant but wake up between 2-3 and don't get back to sleep til 5 and have to be up by 7. It really is a pain and I can't take my meds for it because it lowers my son's heart rate too much.
I had insomnia i asked my doctor wat i could take he suggested benadryl i guess the stuff it has in it makes u drowsy ..
For the past 4 months I have had major insomnia and can't sleep. I am currently 6 months and know sleep is very crucial. My doctor isn't worried about it, but I am unable to function during the day. I don't want this to continue when the baby arrives.
Anything help??
t nap during the day and maybe even take a walk like an hour before bed and have a warm bath or shower to relax..
