It's kind of like what my former neurologist said to me, when at the ripe old age of 14, my mother took me to see her regarding chronic tension/migraine headaches. She wanted me to try, at one point, a tricyclic antidepressant. I was having headac...
I think you might be referring to Rozerem?
You've gotten alot of feedback now. I hope somethings is helping you. In case it's not, let me add a piece. The way you describe yourself (high functioning, etc.), it makes me think you have the wrong idea about low level depression. Highly functi...
Sorry, Ken but I have to go with the quitting smoking, and getting over your fear of meds issues. I've noticed women are a lot more likely to admit to things like depression or needing help with their "issues". I used to smoke. I tried to quit 3x ...
If a doctor recommended viagra, why didn't that doctor prescribe it? I think that there are some interactions with that drug which are potentially dangerous, and I also have heard it has a hangover effect for some people.

I wish I could remember what that stuff was called. I know it worked better for men, because my ex-boss, and my husband both took it, and it used to knock my husband out. I had it for a while, but you don't need it forever. It is so cool, because ...
I have been looking into something like that(not doctor prescription but something close to it) quite some time back but never tried it out. It was called hp5 or something like that, but i kind of forgot about it. Bring it up now has got me thinki...
I have heard about people doing that with drugs like ambien? That's very scary. You are probably right to stop. There's another one, which is way milder, and it's based on melatonin, but by prescription. I don't know the name of it. I have used it...
lol tune up. Yea I get it. Still working on the quit smoking thing that was suggested above but wow, its difficult to quit. As to a sleep study i do not know where to begin looking for something such as that in my area, I guess I can look around o...
On that note, I would add, you might want to start with a complete physical, to rule out any other conditions, and make sure that there isn't something that needs a tune up. (Note, tune up...get it?)
I would highly recommend having a sleep study done. If anything, it may rule out the possibility of a sleep disorder. Or it may very well be that you are suffering from a sleep disorder. There are many treatments available for sleep disorders now ...
when you can't sleep you get depressed. I have had some (ironically) periods of crazy insomnia, and it's awful. I think for me it becomes a very bad cycle. I usually get good old sleeping pills, and reset. It works. You don't have to use them fore...
I am a Coronary Care Registered Nurse, wife, and mother of six children. I work in association with Nuphonics™, a company that offers scientifically designed therapeutic music.
You sound very open to feedback and ideas, so before I tell you about...

it definitely makes sense...and I can completely relate to just about everything you wrote. We definiitely have a lot of common, and I'll write more a little later on, since, although I know I shouldn't...I woke up today, checked for messages on t...
Thanks for the response, Marcia. Funny about your brother though because my sleepless brother also lives in France (the other one as well incidentally), since I am a French expatriate living in the USA. We are all in our mid-late fifties. What abo...
My brother as far as I know, sleeps well...though since he lives in France and I haven't seen him in 4 years or so, though I doubt anything has changed. Oh, and he (when I was around him more often) had what to me, seemed to be the best sleep sche...
Hello,
I recognize myself in just about every story on this board. One thing that I am now looking at more closely and that you have done is finding a proper shrink--more about this later.
So, am brand new on this site--found it as I was about t...
For some people, insomnia would be better, don't you think?
