> Thanks to tm, kayenna, kacy, and joebob for responding. I've been usinf flax seeds for a few years to help with menstrual cramps, but thanks for the suggestion tm. Kacy: I'm keeping an eye on my skin to see if I have the same reaction you did, thanks for the heads up. And joebob: I researched the kirunal and omega brite you mentioned. If the fish oil doesn't seem to do the trick, I'll try either or.

> I have another general question: will this insomnia ever stop? I've tried taking the Lexapro during various times throughout the day and I still can't fall asleep until 3 or 4 am. I'm a little iffy about having to rely on sleep aides. Any suggestions??Hi, I refused sleep aids myself during this trip to hell and back. The boards I go to for some reason 4am is a magic time. Some dont sleep till then and others wake up then. I had panic attacks, anxiety and depression to the point I was housebound and suicidal. I think the sleep thing is either related to adjusting to the med or its the body still dealing with the disorder or it may be a lot of bad memories of what one has been through. For me about 6 months after starting lex I have I guess pretty much recovered completely. I guess it took me about 4 months to start sleeping through the night again. Things that help are going to sleep right when tired. Even if it is early in the evening and you would rather do something else just go to sleep. Take a hot bath right before sleep. I also found playing computer solitaire makes me very sleepy after awhile. But I get the feeling after awhile you will return to a normal sleep pattern. Of course there is always the sleep aid you might take just time to time. GOOD LUCK!!!
