Quote from kaykay5:Does anyone have problems sleeping and what have you found to help?
I have tried too many things and I still have chronic insomnia. Currently I take 50 Zoloft and 1mg clonazapam(klonopin). THis has been going on for 3 months now---way too long. Plus, is it common to still have stomach distress after being on meds this long? I don't feel that the Zolfot is helping much, probably need to change. What would you recommend?
Thanks for any replies.
I recently had an extremely stressful and scary "trigger event" which lead to constant health worries and panic attacks. It went on relentlessly for months and got to the point where I would just lay there half-awake all night or wake up after only a few hours and could'nt get back to sleep.
Finally, I went to the doctor and got a prescription for Vistaril (Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride). Vistaril also goes by the name of Atarax. Anyway, I take one of these every night about an hour before bed and it knocks me out C-O-L-D and I sleep in till noon!. Vistaril is an antihistamine so no worries about getting addicted either. It is also used to treat anxiety disorder.
Ask your doc about it.
