[quote=Anonymous]Try neurofeedback for insomnia! It has been a miracle in my life.

I have taken Ambien twice before in my life when I developed stress-induced insomnia. I took it every night for a while, then slowly weaned myself as I improved my life to remove the source of stress and was off it completely within 6 months or so both times. I never did anything interesting while on it- no sleep sex or eating or driving or murdering- just got an excellent night's sleep.

But now, I am going through a difficult divorce. I stopped sleeping again, so I got some Ambien to get me through but it's been almost 6 months and I haven't been able to wean myself at all. So I decided to try neurofeedback. Within a week of starting neurofeedback I skipped a night of Ambien to see what would happen- I slept 6 hrs. After three weeks of neurofeedback I haven't taken an Ambien for almost 2 weeks and I am sleeping 6-8 hrs a night and functioning well. Better than well, actually- I also have much lessened anxiety and depression. Anyone with insomnia should give it a try![/quote]
