[quote=Anonymous]I went through an awful period of insomnia a few years back. I still shutter. SO sorry you are going through this, OP. I finally broke down and saw my PCP who prescribed Ambien and sent me on my way. It worked but I was afraid to take it more than once a week and if I didn't I couldn't sleep. Saw another PCP. She had me take Lunesta every day for about 2 weeks, no questions. She said "don't think about it, or ask yourself if you need it, just take it every day for 2 weeks." After that, I took it every other day for a week or two. After that, I was to try going without it. For me that worked. The idea was to get over the exhaustion and the anxiety, into a good sleep cycle, and then see if I could maintain the sleep without the meds. It really worked for me, and now I only need it on rare occasions. You might want to try this, or at least check with your doctor to see if s/he might recommend it for you. Good luck. [/quote]
