Trouble falling asleep

Posted by 4by4 @4by4, 3 days ago

I have trouble falling asleep. I don't watch television or look at my phone or computer prior to going to bed. I have tried Zolpidem, Trazadone and Mertazapine. All three do not put me to sleep, but instead I toss and turn for hours, I get restless legs and terrible dry mouth. These medications do the exact opposite of what I need. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I try?

Have you gone to a sleep specialist to try different treatments, maybe therapy like hypnosis or CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)? Have you tried zopiclone, Ambien, https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/what-is-the-best-prescription-medication-for-sleep ?
