Its just horrible not being able to sleep. I can normally fall asleep but wake up an hour or two later and cant go back to sleep. Part of my problem is TKR surgery and being older and just pain in my body :-). I have steered away from prescription drugs until now when I tried Ambien. 5 Mg did knock me out pretty well but I still woke up a few hours later. My doctor recently prescribed Doxepin but I took for just one night because I felt horrible the next day. My body usually does the opposite of what it is suppose to. I have taken different gummies normally CBD/CBN/THC. I have learned recently that you have to be careful of the strain of THC they use in the gummies. Stavia strain keeps you awake and indica is more for sleeping. It worked amazing for a couple years and now it seems to not be working as well. When I had my TKR and was also on pain meds for a couple months it seems I slept a bit better but even pain medication would keep me awake.
Oh my goodness. I asked my doctor recently about Trazadone and he said Ambien or Doxepin has far less side effects. So tonight it will be a gummy. I purchase them on line from highly ranked sites since I dont have a medical card.
