Introduction- my name is rose. I've had insomnia for many years. Ive been taking ambien for about 6 yrs, only .5(?). I tried Lexapro but stopped it. I usually fall asleep ok but wake up early. It used to be sporadic and I'd get some good night but about 3 weeks ago, it has been every night and this week, I can't even fall asleep! I'm up until 3 or 4, again at 5 or 6' then up at 9 for work. It's horrendous. Living hell, as I'm sure you all know! Looking fwd to support !
Welcome to Insomnia Land, Rose – you'll find plenty of support here, and hopefully some good tips and advice, too.
Have you tried any insomnia remedies that didn't involve medication? Were there any that worked better than others? It would be good to know how far along on this journey you are!

I've tried melatonin a long time ago. And valerian . I just Took my 1st seriphos. But I gave in and am trying trazedone. Realized I have anxiety. It's why I have been able to keep going ..as I wasn't really that tired even on 3 hrs sleep! But last nt, while working, it hit me and I couldn't keep eyes open! And due to back to back shifts, only got 6 hrs last nt but slept straight through. I was excited but couldn't keep eyes open all day. I tried napping to no avail. I know that's a no-no but what else can u do when the eyes won't stay open?! I've been trying to listen to relaxation white noise at night. But I usually have earplugs in so it's a little weird .
