My bedtime is fast approaching. My meds need to help me sleep all night long tonight. To much to do to sleep in late because I was up during the night.
BTW. Welcome to BYC. Did you make a post in the New Members section? If not you may like to do that and meet a lot more peeps who love poultry of all kinds.
Probably more educated folks in the diseases and injury forums than here in the chat thread. I know so little but should know more. Right now I know it is my bedtime and need to take my meds so I don't get deficient in some things myself. Goodnight Brewster Land.
Look on Puritan.com for natural sleep remedies that won't conflict with other meds. Might check with your headache specialist too. She might have some good suggestions without a prescription med.
I refuse to take high powered sleeping pills. Every so often I get in a rut where I just can't go to sleep no mater what I take or do. After 40-48 hours I can again. It's been that way for years now.
Have you ever tried just the 3mg dose of Melatonin? There are other natural things that are supposed to help but at the moment I don't remember the names. Maybe google does.
I have about 4 meds I take before bedtime and that usually helps me drift off. Sometimes there is so much going on in my head nothing helps. I can't take a real sleeping pill along with the pain meds.
Half of a child's dose sometimes is all that is needed to cause sleep to come easy. Different doses for different folks. Two tablets will make me hyper and sleepless. I only take two if I get stung by a bee and especially if I get stung by a wasp or yellow jacket or hornet. Bad news if I don't...
I have to take between 20 and sometimes as much as 60mg of it. I have a doc that takes 60mg most nights to get is wheels in his head to stop. Some nights my head works like a runaway freight train. I had 20mg last night in two separate doses.
