While coffee (caffeine) has a direct effect on the CNS for up to 12 hours it upregulates the excitory neurotransmitters much longer - since these are already dysfunctional with benzo withdrawal drinking coffee or any stimulant is beyond risky - and will certainly exacerbate insomnia.

Thanks for asking, my sleep was much better last night.

I think I had from 12. 30 till 6.30 only waking up around 4 a.m. for a while and no pain Charles

 

I read your sx's for last night - glad that it was not quite as bad

 

Lin -  That is good for you!! 

 

I slept a little more too! but still bad pain!

 

OH WELL!

Glad to see that you got more sleep at least!

I'm sorry.  :'(

I wish there was a sliver bullet to insomnia.  I have tried several herbal remedies.  Melatonin needs to be used with caution, they sell it in high dosages.  So if you try it , cut them. 

 

Valerian root.  I remember taking so many of them to fall asleep I though I was going to get sick and throw up in my sleep.

 

Tylenol PM, seems to work but that's going to come with a whole new slew of problems.

 

So far, what works for you is working for me, I burn myself out for several days.  After that I drop dead.  There has got to be a better way. 

 

I think I will go to Barnes  & Knoble and look for some books on hot to fall asleep with out any type of meds or herbal supplements.  Let me know how it goes.

Well I have not taken anything for 2 wk now and have only managed two a night 

 

But, we will see how it goes in May 

[[tr...]]

After waking up every 2 hours for months I finally got to the point where I could sleep for 4-5 hours without any sleep aids, I've only used Tylenol pm on 1-2 occasions, and last night I was awake every hour! 

 

Getting the 4-5 hours a night let me know that this is temporary and a good nights sleep is just around the corner.
