Not slept well for the last week or so. It seems like the sleeping tablets I've been taking no longer work. The doctor has now prescribed an anti-histamine drug to take at bed time.I took the first dose last night but still didn't get to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours. But instead of tossing and turning for that time I just lay there perfectly comfortable and relaxed but wide awake the whole time. It seems the drug stops the restlessness but doesn't dull the conciousness into sleep. Wierd or what?

Ken, when you can't sleep, go to that lovely castle and look for Romona!  Seriously, you mind is probably having a hard time shutting down right now. You have a lot of thoughts running around.  I hope you can get a good nights sleep.  I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Ken ..what tablets have you tried ? I have tried quite a few different ones and im now on Temazepam (10mg) for thr first few nights i didnt notice any difference but now they are working well ! I dont go straight off to sleep , but once i am asleep i'm sleeping for a lot longer !! Ahem slept till 10.30am the other day !!which i have never ever done before! The downside is they are addictive but to be honest , the benefit in the difference to how i fell is probably worth it. When i wasnt getting any decent sleep i just couldnt function.

Kickstart I've been taking Zopiclone but only half a tablet. I didn't want to get too adictive you know how it is but I've started taking a full one and for the last 3 nights it seems to have worked. These are the only sleeping pills I've tried. I tried an antihistamine and although they stopped me fidgeting about and made me completely relaxed, I didn't get to sleep any quicker and also they raised my blood pressure for 24 hours so I didn't use them again.
