Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I have noticed that a lot of you along with myself have sleeping problems which come with chronic pain and depression. I have noticed a change in my sleeping habits once I started taking 6mgs of melatonin every night right when I get into bed. I take this along with my other sleeping pills and since it is a natural substance you do not need a RX to get it. You can get it at any health food place or even Walmart. The usual dose is 3 mgs but when your taking a lot of medications 6 MG seem to work much better and it does not make you groggy in the AM. ALso a lot of sleeping meds do not work well when mixed with other narcotics. Most doctors don't realize this and just prescribe them. Also, I wanted to share another thing I have found out. I know there are a lot of sleeping medications out there and they all have problems associated with their chronic need for them. There is a drug which they prescribe for depression and for nerve pain which is called Elavil or Amitryptline and it does work wonders at helping you sleep through the night and raises your spirits during the day because it's an anti-depressant. Just some thoughts that you may want to check out. Sweet dreams to all of you in pain tonight. Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
