Good luck on your journey. I also started out like you on 40 mg. For about 4 years I struggled with insomnia, and was taking melatonin. I was desperate. I had allergic reaction to sleep meds. Finally I stopped the melatonin, also began just using an over the counter sleepy time tea, and it was a huge help. Amazing. What a simple solution. I've been in recovery ever since. I adore my rheumy, but no mention was ever given of these types of things, or even a diet for inflammation. I found all of this on my own. We really have to question everything, and do our own research. I was just too sick and discouraged. Finally the light came on when I took the course on Living Well With Chronic Pain. So many good ideas. It really changed my life, and then we got adjustable beds, and I now sleep well, but after 2 major back surgeries it is difficult to lie flat and the adjustable bed has really helped.
