Insomnia????
Can someone please give me any suggestions. I dont see an insomnia forum. Here is the problem I was weaning off some medications I took one was seroquel and I had no problem sleeping even with the wean for 3 weeks. Now I seem to fall asleep right at 10pm but I wake up at 2-3am every morning and cant fall back asleep. I really dont want to go back up on my meds as I worked 10 years to get down off this med. Anyways here is what I take for bedtime. Any other suggestions? It is always middle night insomnia.
Thanks so much I am desperate I need the energy as I have a very busy 3yr old and I am a single mom.
This is what I take at night.
Kinda crazy but:
Meds include"
50mg seroquel (down from 200mg about 2 months now at 50mg)
1mg klonopin
25mg lamictal (down from 200mg about 1 month now)
Supplements for nightime:
10mg melatonin
100 mg 5htp
500 mg gaba
2 milk thistle
1200 mg calcium
325 mg magnesium
l-cysteine
Occasionally:
valerian root (does nothing?)
chamomile (does nothing?)
1 gm inositol in lemon water/acv mix
Any other suggestions why 2-4 am besides the whole liver cleanse at that time? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions I am not extremely tired during the day but I do not care for being up from 2-5 am some nights. That and my mind starts racing.
PS: I worked really hard to get down on these meds I do not want to go back up on them as they drag me down to the point I cant chase after my son.
Please help me. I dont know what else to do!
