Hello, my dd is 8 months old and I've had chronic insomnia since she was born. Was diagnosed with PND at 3 months when I lost the ability to fall asleep and went a bit mad as a result. Cue prescription for citalopram and temazapan to help with sleep. 5 months on and I'm having a great relationship with dd and and feeling so much better in myself, pretty happy in all honesty. However, I can fall asleep at bedtime with no drugs quite easily, but I wake after 2 hrs and it's hit and miss as to weather I fall back to sleep without drugs, sometimes I take the drugs and still don't fall back to sleep. If I do fall back to sleep I still wake maybe 1 or 2 hrs later, then panic again about being awake.
Has anyone experienced this and did you eventually have a positive outcome? Dd sleeps 12 hrs now so I could potentially get 7-8 hrs in but I'm lucky if I get 3-4. Thanks for reading, I'm just wanting to maintain hope for our future that this will improve with time.
