Insomnia anyone else suffer?

[NewHollandWood]

Ever since getting out of TDC a year ago and then spending 4 months on anti-depres. now been off for 3 months. I cant sleep...my frickin mind just keeps running and running until its like 3 or 4am. I have to take 3-4 sleeping pills just to relax enough just to lay down. Tired of taking pills. Anyone else suffer? Need some help so I can sleep naturaly and really start to grow...

bro I am with you...I have to wake up at 530 tomm to work a 12hr day and I won't even try to go to bed until about 12 and then I will lay there for a couple of hours...I almost always take 3 benedryls everynight that I know I can't try to make up the sleep in the morning...my wife falls asleep in like 5 mins and some nights I will actually just give up and go read or do homework...my mind just starts racing, I have found that (this sounds totally lame) if I try to imagine myself doing something, just random shit, like driving in the indy five hundred or going on a date with someone, or just imagining a situation and then what I would do in that situation, it kind of distracts my mind and I can usually fall asleep faster...it sounds dumb, but try it (if you want, pm me for suggestions)...what antidepressant were you on? I have taken 5-HTP (derivative of tryptophan, which can be made into seratonin) before and I slept very well...I know melatonin helps regulate sleep, but I wonder if the antidepressant you took may have caused something to go amiss with your seratonin levels, which may also interfer with sleep..

got Melatonin?

I don't usually have this problem but When I do I have found Melatonin to be a great help. BTW...what's TDC?

yeah bro, im up aint i??? try sleeping with the tv on. usually people will say this is a bad idea but if you arent sleeping anyways what could it hurt, right? i have to put a movie in before i can fall asleep, it helps if its one you've seen a million times so you dont really care what happens.
getting drunk helps too hehehe im wasted

If I go to bed around 11:00pm, I'll lay there tossing and turning until 3-4 am. Then I get up at 6-7 am for work and I'm tired, but I still can't sleep.

Also, when I do sleep it is a very light sleep. If a car drives down the road at 3 am, it will wake me up.

It sucks big time, but you kind of get used to it after a while.

Yeah i have a big problem with sleep. and it is definitely all phsychological. I sleep pretty well when not juicing but when on test i have no chance. It only take a small amount of test (250mg/wk) to keep me awake all night. I once tried 750mg/wk and no shit i only slept like 3-4 hours in 3 days. I have never tried tren and never will cause its not worth it. benzo's work but you get used to them after a while and they loose their effectiveness. For some reaon clomid is almost worse than test. whenever i do pct i sleep very little as well. The reason i say it is all phsychological is that i can sleep fine when it is day time. Atm i am taking eq/test/t3/clen and having a shit time sleeping. i start work at 7 so i am pretty rough all morning. However i can come home at lunch time and fall asleep in 5 mins. I have tried avoiding falling asleep at lunchtime, so i will be tireder (is that a word?) at night, doesnt work. benadryl works ok but it makes me very drowsy in the morning. Also i live in Dubai, UAE. benzos are totally illegal here, you cant even get them on prescription so im a but buggered there. I just live with it...

Go to your doctor and get a scrip for Trazadone.Take 100mg 1/2 to 1 hour before you want to sleep and thats all she wrote !! Its supposed to be used as anti depressant,but has other uses as well mainly sleeping problems. I swear by the stuff and dont wake up dragging ass. Best I've tried yet.Its not a benzo,and I'm fairly certain its not habbit forming at low doses.200mg would be considered a high dose.If you want some good sleep,I'd give it a try........GD

Thanks for the suggestions...it would be nice to sleep without taking anything but I guess a trip to the doc is in my near future.

I have tried mel., val. root, and nytols. Smoking weed helps and drinking every night is just not me.

BG65: I was on Effeoxor, lithium, remeron, sorquel, and risperdal. Cant remeber what doses

TDC is Texas Department of Corrections only in there 6 months.

i suffer from it a lot. especially working for the railroad. we are rested in eight hours if we work up to 11hr 59min. i worked for 45 days in a row getting out on my rest (every 8 hours). 2 hours sleep in a 48 hour period. tossing and turning. try the equate version sleeping pills. they are liquid and blue. they work for me. take 2 and it will help.
