Hello, this my first post, I just joined yesterday.
I developed early awakening insomnia suddenly, in 1999. Drs. always ask if I was depressed at the time, which I was not.
I.had a sleep study done which was negative for sleep apnea. I've tried just about every remedy known to man.
I was put on Elavil, which worked for awhile. Then Trazadone, which also worked for awhile. Finally Mirtazipine which for a very long time,
but it too eventually lost it's effectiveness. Cognitive behavioral therapy has not proven beneficial for me.
Currently I take Ambien when I wake at 3:00 AM. It works well so far, I think it may also stop working at some point.
Being someone who has had substance abuse issues, I'd like to be drugfree
Welcome to the forum, thaggs. Did anything happen in 1999 to trigger your insomnia or did it appear to come from nowhere?
I am sure you'll find plenty of helpful advice and information here in the forums – it may take some digging, but there is a lot of great information in here that has all been shared by others who know what you're going through.
Keep in touch, and I look forward to reading more of your posts and getting to know you.
