Hello! I am new to the forum. I have been having insomnia since June and it has really turned my life upside down! My worst mistake was taking sleeping meds, which I think contributed to (along with insomnia) anxiety and depression. So I stopped the drugs, and the depression and anxiety have been getting better since then (but slowly). DId anyone else have this problem?

Also I am interested in hearing from anyone who has tried acupuncture or yoga therapy for insomnia.

Thank you for being a part of this community!

I've never tried either for insomnia, but I have very adverse reactions to sleeping pills as well.

And hey, welcome to the community!

Welcome to the gang, Terri. I've written about acupuncture and yoga for insomnia a few times on the blog. Here are a couple of posts:

Did anything happen in your life in June to trigger the insomnia?

I tried acupuncture. With a relatively good specialist. The specialist was a Russian guy, not Chineese. It had NO effect on my terrible insomnia at all!!! I found a real Chineese doctor (but in another town). He sais he can help me. But I`m not sure now. Because I already had a bad experience with acupuncture.

I didn`t try yoga. If someone had experience with it, it would be interesting to know what impact on insomnia and how much relief does it have.
