Restoril always worked for me at 30 mg Before that trazodone worked for me . Now I have been take both . I switched to 22.5 of Restoril . I am so scared being on it . Nothing else worked on me . I have tremendous stress in my life right now . Did you try the gummy for the first time , by just not taking a sleeping pill for a night ?

I don't know that much about Restoril. I completely understand how stress can affect a person. Two years ago I had a fall at work which resulted in a full tear of my left rotator cuff, a bulging disc in my neck, as well as bulging disc in my lower lumbar. So far I've only had a spinal fusion surgery and still have back pain.
My other doctors will not address my shoulder and cervical conditions until my lower lumbar is resolved. I am allergic to pain meds and oral prednisone, so I was only able to take anti inflammatory meds and muscle relaxers. They didn't even touch the pain I had, so my spinal surgeon referred me to Pain Management. I am scheduled for a lumbar ablation on July 1st, and am hoping for some relief.
Because the fall was at work, it's a Worker's Comp situation and they have been a disaster. They have denied almost every treatment prescribed, and the ones they approved took them a ridiculous amount of time to schedule. I have developed excruciating thoracic pain on my left side that has been going on for over a year and I'm still waiting for WC to approve treatment.
I did try the gummies on their own at first, but then took a lower dose along with the Trazodone. Sleep is extremely difficult for me because of the chronic pain. I don't want to jeopardize that by experimenting with other meds and dosages.
