Sleep Issues After Radical Prostatectomy

Like most guys, I had trouble sleeping with the catheter but otherwise no worse than normal - which was never very good anyway so it's hardly a measure. The meds you take can certainly impact everyone differently - even something as seemingly benign as stool softener might mess with someone in ways it doesn't with others.

Survivor,
Everything seemed to be "off" after the surgery. After trying a number of things, including melatonin, I finally had to resort to medication, as I could not go to work on a few hours of sleep. Things are improving now, fortunately. I'm not taking that every night now.
Thank you for your input. Best wishes.

Survivor: Thank you for your input. I tried a number of things, including melatonin. Nothing worked except the prescription medication. I don't like to use that, but I could not go to work on 2-3 hours of sleep. Things are slowly improving. I don't use the medication every night.
