I am not really sure where to start but I will try. Have had significant periods of insomnia for over 2 years. What I mean by insomnia is I usually sleep well or okay 2 out of 7 nights of each week. The other nights I usually fall asleep around 1030ish and wake up around 2 and can't fall back asleep mainly due to stress(I think). I get up for work around 530. I have switched jobs thinking that that would help and initally it did, but I am back to many sleepless nights. In the past I have tried to talk with someone but that did not work. I am very hesitant to take any prescription drugs. I have tried many natural supplements without success and have tried the OTC sleep aides which also has not helped. I guess what I would like to know is if there is anyone who has tried medication for insomnia and how there body has reacted. I know everyone is different. I am just curious. I do have an appointment with my Dr on Monday to discuss this. I am wondering if it may be PMDD..who knows. I just would like to sleep again.
