In reply to BAD Insomnia - need help desperately, posted by Angel Girl on June 23, 2002, at 23:42:58
> I have been dealing with insomnia now for at least 5 weeks. Well actually, I started having insomnia when I started Effexor XR last November but it's been under control until about 5 weeks ago. I have tried several sleeping meds all to no avail.
>
> I need something that is STRONG enough to knock me out immediately and then wear off quickly. No matter what I've been taking now, I'm still awake until about 5:30am and then I find I can't stay awake the following day. It's a neverending viscious cycle that I need to get under control asap.

> So, does anybody know what I can take that will knock me out immediately but not leave me feeling groggy the next day???? I need something that works FAST!!!!!

> I'm getting DESPERATE!!!!

> Thanks for any help anybody can offer.

> Angel GirlI am surprised that your dr cannot get you to sleep with medication.As a natural sleeping method try omega-3 fish oil,avalable in Walmart.Take 3-5grams,indeed up to 10g before going to bed.Do not take if on any blood thinning medication.It may help your depression too.Have a look at www.omega3.20megsfree.com
