Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sort of laughing to hear about your doctor and nurse! Are you taking an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety med? Aren't they counter-productive or is 3 oz. not enough to mess with it? I'm willing to try anything . . . red wine here I come :-)

"I started forcing down 3oz's of red wine later in the evening. I sleep great. All night. The wine didn't make me tired it calmed my brain down so I wasn't thinking of a million things and I just fell asleep naturally. If I wake in the middel of the night I used to wake right up and my brain started whizzing with a million thoughts and with the wine I was relaxed and fell right back asleep!! and only 3 ounces!!

> Last time at the doctor the nurse asked the usual Do you drink? I said I just started. I explained and she said she tried everything too and was going right after work to buy the same brand of wine I got. Then the Doc came in and asked how the last med was working. I said I'm not taking anything but 3 ounces of wine and it is working great. He replyed that's what he does but he couldn't suggest it to me. I've also talked to the nurse and she had great success.
> I hate to advocate alcohol but I have to say it works for me. I hope this helps some one else sleep the night.
