And, I’m starting to think that meds to sleep are better than not sleeping - so many of my friends were awake for hours several of the last few nights. Of course, they can all nap, but I can’t.
Saw my doctor yesterday - he made a very forceful argument for going back to lorazepam .5 mg but I can take a second one if it doesn’t work on any particular night. And I see him again in one month and figure out from there. We did briefly talk about trazodone; Maybe he will recommend taking A higher dose, And you make sense, taking it early to allow it time kick in.
Last night I ended up taking the full 1 mg dose lorazepam over 30 minutes and it worked fine; Best night sleep I’ve had in a week. Ambien just doesn’t work for me. I wake up after three hours, take another half tablet and maybe sleep for another two to three hours, waking up at 3:30am.
Another friend said sleep meds Make him anxious, which they also can do for me. I’d really love to get to the point of not needing meds to sleep; someday I will hopefully
