Instead of the normal doom gloom and heartache I post, here's something different!

For a number of years I've had lots of trouble sleeping.

It got so bad a couple of months ago that I begged my GP for help as I'd already exhausted other remedies like herbal blends, benadryl and melatonin. God bless her she gave me a sleeping pilll.

But a month later the insomnia demon came back to haunt me so I called again. She wrote an RX for another drug to help me sleep. Added benefits: old school anti-depressant used nowadays for anxiety. I've been on it for about a month now.

When my daughter walked into the kitchen she asked what was wrong with me because I'm never this happy. LOL!

IDK if it's the trazodone or that my back finaly quit hurting after the three days of hard manual labor I did last week. But I do feel great today for a change. Having a more positive mental attitude is bound to help me get things done and move forward.

Thank you all on this forum for your support, encouragement and the occasional 2x4 upside my head.

I don't post that much but I do kind of peek everyday to see how you guys are doing.

: )

OMG my GP just started me on Trazodone 100mg a month ago because I have had insomnia for years and I just couldn't take it anymore. It's amazing how awesome you feel after a good night of sleep!

I LOVE my sleep aid. I have to take Ambien though. Trazodone is not strong enough for me.

So happy to hear you're feeling better Biggrin

I suppose.

But strangely enough, since being on thses meds, I have very little desire to drink(used to try and numb my emotions and ward off the anxiety I had as his arrival time drew near)

Now he can't use drinking against me. Even though he drinks way more than I do, he is outraged if I even have a slight buzz. Probably because he hates to see me happy and wants me to be as miserable as he is.

Dummy.

The first one was temezepam 30mg. Trazodone is 50mg and IIRC, GP told me they work very well together

I hope it keeps working. A good night's sleep really does make a difference.

AH likes to deprive us of our sleep. One night after I finally got to sleep he woke me by poking my back repeatedly( intentionally messing with me)

My daughter likes to be well rested for school and he will be talking on the phone or to my son and he is so GD loud. I never knew anyone in my life whose normal tone of voice was almost a shout.

He went to bed early one night and my daughter was sick so she came out to the living room to sleep on the other couch. She fell asleep right away. About an hour later around 10:30, AH wanders out into the living room to loudly discuss a greatly pressing issue that totally escapes my memory now(sarcasm alert). He kept on and on and on until he woke up our daughter. She and I are convinced he does this on purpose-it's kind of like spreading himself out everywhere and marking his territory and making it all about himself every minute.

Sigh.
