I had trouble sleeping. I always wake up at 3 or 4am. Can i take this medicine?
Are you prescribed it? If you’re worried about med interactions contact your local pharmacist, or call a hospital and ask to speak to a nurse.
I had talk to the doctor and asked for this medicine. But he prescribe Chlorpromazine aka Thorazine to me instead. It’s not very effective though…
A better benzo for sleep is temazepam - it’s prescribed as a sleep medication. I find benzo’s for sleep poop out pretty quickly. You get used to them, quickly.
I see the pdoc today and ask him for Temazepam. He said it is not available in the hospital! That’s really sucks! So i ask him for Lorazepam instead. I hope it works tonight…
I usually take to sleep although my pdoc prescribed it for my anxiety, but it works wonders on putting me to sleep. It’s addictive though, so be careful. I usually take it every other day.
I think benzodiazepines calm your mind and help with racing thoughts making you sleep better rather than knocking you out like ambien would
Ambien / zolpidem is another well known sleeping medication:
You don’t want to use these too much as sleep is not as good as if you’re not using sleep medication.
Also - some people report better sleep with L-Theanine.
Thanks admin. I had tried Melatonin with L-Theanine.for a few days. But it’s not very effective. I still wake up frequently at night. What should i do?
