What Can I Get For Sleep ?

[Pepe']

Ambien 10 mg is my first choice 3 to 5 days then go every other day for another five days, then two for the last week if you still need it.

Valium 10 mg for two nights then stop.

Sonata is also OK I don't have a ot of experience with this one though.

The VA in San Diego is giving 50 mg Trazdone to treat insomnia. It seems to work but I wonder about using a antideppressant to induce sleep.

I've been dealing with insomnia since I've been a kid.

If you've got noisy neighbors none of the natural remedies is probably going to work.

A number of years ago I had trouble sleeping from

work stress. My doctor advised first trying to avoid

using drugs ... a good, honest doc I had there.

He said ....

1/ Hot chocolate. Not tea or coffee for obvious reasons

of caffiene. Blood flows to the stomach for cooling

purposes and away from the brain making sleep

easier.

2/ A hot shower; similar reasoning

3/ Do your daily exercise like situps or pushups

just before bed.

4/ Sex

Leaning on drugs all the time is a bad habit.

Based on my experiences I cannot recommend Halcion. Arriving by air I asked the stewardess when we would be transiting through Narita, Japan. "We already did Sir. You got your luggage, got off the plane, went through Customs, and reboarded. Don't you remember? You seemed all right." A few hours completely erased from my memory. I don't consider that a good thing.

Please note that all the meds mentioned here require prescription in Thailand.

Personally I would not recommend taking any of them on a daily basis for chronic insomnia, need to get to the bottom of what is causing the insomnia instead.

OK to use Ambien, Valium/Xanax et al say once a week for "catch up"sleep but then, atarax (non-addictive, OTC) would probably work just as well for that and be safer.
