sleeping has been an issue for me since my accident. i can usually get in a few hours at a time...
so my doctor gave me some sleeping aids. the first one? ambien? i totally freaked out, and my kids had to call cal over for help. i was apparently being ridiculous. know what? i do not remember a thing. needless to say, those meds went in the trash. next it was lunesta. same thing. trash.
i gave up on meds for a while, scared of having these "fugue" states where i act like a nut and everyone remembers it but me.
recently, in the hospital they gave me trazedone. which basically equates to a large dose of benadryl. it works, but i find it so hard to wake up...and my head is super foggy. so i only use when i am breaking down due to exhaustion. the rest of the time i take herbal sleep aids.
so yes. i feel for you corkey and can so relate.
here is some info on herbal/natural sleep remedies.
