Hi,
I suffer from acute insomnia & have for several years; prior to that, it was less severe, but still a problem.
After my first back surgery, in 1985, I was put on Halcion, but I got hooked on it & it was very difficult to escape from , but I did.
As far as supplements, OTC & scripted medicines, I have tried many
Melatonin never worked, then it began to have an adverse effect. As antihistamines give me a sense of being wired, so did Melatonin. I've tried Lunestga with no luck, & the only thing that works for me, in a limited role, is either 2 mg. of Lorazepam or a 10 Mg. Zolpidem tab. With either, I average maybe 4 hours a night, but without, I average 1-3. I am afraid to again get addicted to either, so I do not take every night.
Lunesta was about the same. My insurance only covers Zolpidem & Lorazepam, & the costs OTC for the others, is far too cost prohibitive.
If I may, what, or does not, work for you ?
Thanks for your time.
I recently tried a combination of the below, in 1 gel cap as well, as
well as a separate 250 mg Valerian Root cap. No luck
Calcium (as calcium carbonate) 70 mg 7%
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide) 30 mg 7%
Melatonin 1.5 mg †
5-HTP 10 mg †
(from Griffonia simplicifolia (seed) extract)
Valerian, extract (root) 150 mg †
standardized to 0.8% valerenic acids
Hops, extract (flower) 50 mg †
standardized to 5% alpha bitter acid
Passionflower, extract (flower) 50 mg †
standardized to 3.5% vitexin
Chamomile, extract (flower) 50 mg †
standardized to 1% apigenin glycosides
