Sever imsomnia...

**Philliagorillia** · 04-01-2004, 03:12 AM

This post is mainly just for me to ramble on in. Insomnia sux, i have had it since i was very young and it has grown into a monster. It keeps me awake for months at a time then suddenly disappears as if i never had a problem. Sometimes i go so long without sleep i feel like a machine, i dont feel human anymore. I lie in bed, staring into the darkness wondering why i cant sleep, then the imagination starts to run wild and i start thinking crazy thoughts. I dont know why this is happning and never know when it is gonna start or stop, it just happens. I lay here and think to myself, what the hell can i do to stop this madness from keeping me awake at night, i just wish there was an on/off switch or something. This has got to stop or im gonna go off the deep end one day. Sometimes i feel as if im not even a normal person, maybe im a bit disturbed upstairs or possibly just plain crazy and just dont see it yet. Ohh well guess i'll figure it out eventually, not i just need to find a way to get rid of this crazyness that keeps me awake.....

Have you tried sleeping aids? Check out 3-6mg of melatonin at first, and see how you respond. It should put you out, and quite naturally. If that doesn't work, try something harder. Have you ever seen a doctor, insomnia is quite serious, as a lack of sleep affects all physical and mental aspects of your life.

No havent been to a doc for it since i was young. But is this melatonin an over the counter or prescription thing. I have seen and heard many people talk of it and they say its great stuff.

Melatonin works like a million bucks, but if that doesnt help you take rambos advice and go see a doc. Good luck bro.

I take a melatonin and a benadryl pill every night. What time do you get up? What time do you work out??

It's OTC or try www.abf.ac I use Gaba for a sleep aid, I get it from there too. Its excellent stuff. Its been a life saver for me to be honest.

It only worked for about 2-3 hours, i got a bit sleepy, fell asleep around 2, got up around 4:30, then went back to bed and tried to sleep some more, maybe dozed off a few times but didnt really get and good sleep in. If this keeps up im gonna go buy a gallon of whiskey and have a few shots with my last meal while reading here on AR...

You took 3mg, that's not much, try 6, that should work.
