For some odd reason I am having a very hard time falling asleep. I just don't know what else to try to help me get some sleep. I just wish my Dr would stop changing my meds around all the time. I finally found a medicine that will help me go to sleep all night now this week she wants me stop taking one and she double the dosage on one.. I can't handle all the meds changing

is the reason you can't sleep because of the change in meds or another reason?

Yes it is I was fdoing just fine on that other pill now she took it away from me darn it!

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble sleeping. What is her reason for taking you off the medication?

Trisha8013535 09/04/2016

The main reason is because she is trying to find the right meds to help me with my OCD problem. The meds that works good for my OCD problem doesn't mix well with the meds she put me on for my moods

Let her know you can't sleep now since you started whatever pill. You may need something to help you sleep. Sleep is the foundation for getting better. Being sleep deprived only makes us more vulnerable. Wishing you luck and a good nights sleep.

Have you ever tried listening to guided imagery at bedtime? I use it all the time and it really helps. (Note: I am not connected in any way w/this website other than I am a very happy customer.)

Check out www.healthjourneys.com. Belleruth Naperstek does guided imagery for all kinds of issues. Sleep, PSTD/trauma, OCD, stress, all kinds of physical issues and more. You can download a free 15 minute relaxation guided imagery to see if you like it. All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time. I like getting it because it often has 20% off or other discounts as well as interesting suggestions & tips.

Since you posted in this group, I am guessing you either are or were in an abusive relationship. So the guided imagery could also help with the stress.

Also meditating every day can help with the stress and sleep. There is lots of free info on the web, like deepak chopra's website. He & Oprah do a free 21 day meditation every few months.

I really need to be able to sleep a lot better before Tuesday because I gotta get up early on Tuesday morning so I can put my daughter Grace on the bus for the first day of school.
