So long story short I haven’t slept in like 5 days. Any sleep med suggestions?

I just started 30mg Restoril. It’s not great but it’s better than most others I’ve tried.

Lunesta is my favorite drug. 3 mg. Don’t mess around with the 1 or 2 mg. Go straight to 3.

Med wise I’d go with a benzo.
Herb wise I’d go with passion flower.

It seems you have very good health parameters.
Many people would be moribund or dead after not sleeping for 5 days straight.

I would suggest exercising, in particular aerobic exercising.
My situation was very very bad after I didn’t sleep say 72 hours consecutively.
I think that the exercising helped and keeps helping to somehow regulate my sleep and keep me afloat.

@unknown, I suggest you call your pdoc and inform him/her about your lack of sleep. You might have to be hospitalized.
I just left a message and I’m waiting for a call back. I also just picked up some over the counter sleep aids. I hope he calls back soon.

@unknown. I lost 50 pounds from counting my calories everyday on a calorie counting app on my smartphone. And I’ve kept it off for three years now by continuing to count my calories everyday. You can do the same if you want to. I also exercise everyday doing things that I enjoy. My exercise is yoga and piano playing. As far as quitting smoking is concerned, daily exercise can go a long way toward inducing a person to quit smoking. Also, you could try to cut back by half. Example if you currently smoke two packs a day, cut back to one pack a day. If you currently smoke one pack a day, cut back to half a pack and so on. It seems to work for a friend of mine. Best wishes.
Wow 50 pounds. Congrats on the weight loss. How long did it take you to loose the weight?

I take lorazepam 1mg when I can’t sleep.
