Hi have been posting for a while about this but really getting beyond a joke,
started with:
Nytol worked one night not the next
Diazepam 15mg not worked
Zolpicone worked one night the gradually less and less over the following 3 nights.
Mirtazapine 15mg worked great first night not too bad 2nd and 3rd night.
Saturday an Sunday night not worked at all back to square one, has made me feel slightly less anxious but as my deepest darkest fear is sporadic fatal insomnia this is doing nothing to quell my fear, Iknow its extremely rare but why cant I bloody sleep.

I am tired i start to nod off so easily and just as I am about to sleep wham i am dragged back to being awake time after time after time all night long I am so fed up with this can ANYONE PLEASE PLEASE OFFER SOME ADVICE back to docs on wednesday she thinks its all anxiety related but I cant seem to make anyone listen that I wasnt anxious I just stopped bloody sleeping I am feeling so frustrated. Have had a brain scan waiting for results just wondered if anyone else has had it this bad. Thank you all x

i suffer from a different type of insomnia to you, i go sleep fine about 10.30 -11ish but i dont stay asleep .
wide awake by 12.30 -3.30 every morning.
drives me mad ,they wont give me sedatives so ive been prescribed Mirtazapine- havent taken it yet ,im paranoid about the side effects.

i know why i cant sleep though, it must be frustrating to not know why you cant .

my nan swears by her sleeping tablets and a tot of whiskey !

Hopefully will hear back from you.
