Since i stopped drinking and paid meds my insomnia has become unbearable. I've tried amitriptyline, gabapentin, tamazapam, zopiclone to name but a few, some prescribed others not...I'm desperate! I do all the sleep hygiene stuff, regular bed/wake times, shower before bed, no tech unfortunately haven't tried sex as much as I'd like to my penis doesn't agree🤨 I am at the point at which I will do almost anything to get regular, uninterupted sleep...HELP

Hey,

Hope you find a solution, nothing worse than not sleeping. I'm the same except for me my mind ends me bound up with panic attacks at 4 am !

Just had one of the worst ones in ages, I try everything to prevent it because it's a trigger time for me but every time I seem to have one and I can't stop it.

Oh well, now to try and get an hour or so of sleep !

Thanks, had a good nights sleep last night, wasn’t exactly legal, although it should be, but hey I had a good nights sleep and as I said previously am willing to try anything...within reason. Thanks again for caring, hope you find your own peace eventually. Jonty

Sounds intriguing... 😁

I'm not sleeping either, it's driving me mad! Also I've gone off sex too which is driving the husband mad!

I hope tonight brings sleep too!
