I Am Wondering If Anyone Else Is Having Trouble Falling Asleep And Staying Asleep; I Average About 5-6 Hrs Sleep, 7 If Lucky.
I have lupus nephritis, osteoarthritis, Raynaud's Syndrome. I am on 4 hbp meds, 3 for lupus. This problem with sleeping started about 3 1/2 yrs ago. It takes a couple of hours to fall asleep or I keep waking up to go to the bathroom, or I don't fall asleep at all.
After 25 plus years of drugs I was frantic in desperation I tried acupuncture. Almost all my symptoms miraculously disappeared. Still taking only 2 drugs, down from 12. ACUPUNCTURE. Worth a try!
I had been taking melatonin and magnesium for awhile. Then I stopped, but since then I sleep better. I suggest you talk to your primary care doctor about your struggle with sleep.
I am on 100 MG of Trazodone. I take it at bedtime. Also, melatonin helps. Something else to consider is the time of day that you take your meds. A pharmacist can help with this.
I've had fibromyalgia for 21 years and lupus at least 18 years. I no longer have sleep issues. My physician put me on Trazadone at night. It is nonadditive and a life saver. I hope this helps. I have been taking this for 21 years. I do not feel drowsy in the morning. Just refreshed.
Yes, it goes in cycles for me. I try to keep a consistent sleep schedule. I notice that if I get over tired, it can trigger a bout of insomnia.
