Found a great solution to insomnia

[Smiley2000]

I was addicted to Zolphidem and had to go cold turkey and find better ways to sleep!

Doctor prescribed 2mg Melatonine and I discovered something else:

An App on my Iphone: Take a break

It is short relaxation and music clips and I now sleep through the night and I even use it during the day when I feel stressed out.

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I was on Zolphidem for 7 years!  It started out as anxiety due to my heart issues and from there on Doctors were just to happy to prescribe it to me.

I still take 2mg Melatonine and 20mg Temazapam and listen to my relaxation music.  Hopefully one day soon, I'll be able to sleep without any Temaz.

Long term use of sleeping pills is not good.  

My wife had been using a generic form of Ambian for years (at least 4 or 5 years).  Then recently she was diagnosed with "tremors" that materialized as hand shaking, so much that it made her hand writing almost illegible  It also make typing a problem, so even putting something in type was a problem for her.

She moved form Ambian on a suggestion form our MD son to another drug (don't recall the name - can look it up) that is for depression and insomnia.  She found see was sleeping better, and Surprise!! he hand quit shaking.

I was looking for some place to put this experience down . do no mean to hijack this thread.  

Good music can help put the mind a rest as well as do other things..
