Insomnia..

[ungbygger]

Damm.. I hate not being able to sleep at night...

Had Gyno-surgery about 6 weeks ago.. was on pain medications for a few days, and after that i just doesnt seem to be able to sleep without meds/marihuana.. I really _Dont_ want to use any medications to help me sleep, but i have had a few 3-days-in-a-row without sleeping.. Could also be from working, working hard about 10-12 hours a day..

Its a bitch being in bed, with all the thoughts flowing through your mind, and not being able to relax.. The Doc. put me on "Imovane" to help sleeping, and i got some "Nozinan" from my dad.. now im almost out of them.. Anyone know of any
non-addictive OTC supplements that might work ?

Thanks..

Weed works just fine.. but then again, i tend to get a "hangover" the next day.. and i really need to be focused on my work.. also, i dont want to go back to the "smoking every day" thing i had earlier..

Think i`ll go see my doc in a few days..

Wohoo! First night without any meds!

Hey!

Just wanted you to know, last night was the first night i didnt take any meds/smoke weed to get to sleep.. I have slept really good tonight (about 6 hours).. I started with a long hot shower, followed by GABA, and then, when i went to bed, and all the thoughts was "flowing" around in my head, i kept breathing heavy in<->out, and just focusing my mind on the breathing. Suddenly i woke up, about 6 hours later

Hope this will work tonight...

you could try meditation

try not thinking, just absorb the blackness you see when you close your eyes, breathing smoothly and deeply, you have to forget your body and become your breathing and what you see when your eyes are closed. nothing.

im trying to free your mind

Liberator: Yup.. Have been thinking of starting with meditation.. i think it would be good for my body/mind. Rather meditation than medication..


MrMuscle: Yup.. Think I`ve seen you around somewhere, on some other boards

I find meditating just before bed can make it worse.
A good meditation can give me energy and then I really cant sleep.
I'm taking half a tab of Ambien every night,
which puts me out and sllep well,
but I'm a bit foggy the next day, a little emotionally flat.
My doctor told me he didn't wanting me continuing the Melatonin, cause he's begining to hear
stories about that causing cases of blindness.
My mother swears by Tylenol PM which contains benadryl,
an anti-histamine which makes you drowsey.
She says the Tylenol PM doesn't interfere with dreams, helps with aches and pains, and puts her to sleep. I think I'm trying that next cause I want off the Ambien.
