Hi everyone, I have had T since 2008 and have coped well till hubby passed away 5 months ago then it exploded.I guess stress is the reason.

My question is my lovely gp prescribed 10mg phenergen pill to help me fall asleep and it does work.

I have been taking them nightly for 3 months gp says not addictive but I'm feeling a bit lightheaded and headachy.

Has anyone here with T and sleep problems due to stress evet taken these tablets.?

Hi Ethel,

I'm sorry to hear about your husband and yes, that can cause a great deal of stress which ups the anti for the T.

I started taking Phenergen early in my T journey. I have been taking it on and off for over six months now - probably 3 times a week on average.

I take half a 25mg tablet about an hour before I go to bed and drop off very easily and have a good 7/8 hours restful sleep. I feel a little dopey for the first hour of the morning after but then it clears and I'm all good for the day.

I do think it has a sedating effect that is very subtle and that's why I take it. It just takes the edge off things.

My T journey is still quite new and I'm happy to have the Phenergen as an ally for when I'm feeling low. To begin with I was taking it every night without fail but I am taking it less and less these days which is how it should be I guess.

Good luck with everything and take care,

Jim

If stress has given you increased tinnitus then you might benefit from Ginkgo. Click on my username for posts on how I did it. You don't take it daily. It needs to clear your system before the next dose is recognised.
