[fi...] Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm doing better. I started titration recently and it seems to be working thus far (though I haven't yet gone down in my dose yet). I found out my Vitamin D levels were low, so I've spent some time in the sun and have been feeling more energetic. At any rate, it sounds like you're suffering from standard w/d symptoms. Can you get up and walk around or spend a little time outdoors? fg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[GH...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My vitamin D level was down. I took 64,000 units of vitamin D each week for a year to get my level back to normal. And I live in south Florida. Jane, it sounds like withdrawal symptoms to me. good healing, fair winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi How is the melatonin working for you? I have been trying to use Benadryl/Nyquil but it isn't working very well for sleep. I also bought Calmes Forte but that doesn't work either. Sleep is elusive right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ja...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh the melatonin works great i got a full 8 hours last night. I live here in CA and at the cvs's they carry liquid melatonin and it works so much better... Im glad to see youre doing better GF!

[Ch...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Candlelady, I was thinking about trying Calmes Forte. Sounds like I shouldn't waste my money. Challis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a doctor but tell me if im wrong in 2 weeks from now that you arent 80 percent there at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Challis, It did not do a darn thing for me. I didn't feel anything and surely didnt' help with sleep. I was hoping for a simple fix and I am quickly learning that there are no quick fixes in this journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ja...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 LIQUID melatonin i promise ull get at least 5-6 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I sure hope this doesn't go on and on and on. I am going to grab some Melatonin tonight at the store to see how it works. How awesome you got that much sleep!!! Do you feel better today? I think getting a good nights sleep puts this w/d into better perspective.

Guest [ja...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I havent gotten less than 4 1/2 hours with taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 That gives me hope and I will definitely give it a try. My husband saw how tired I was this morning and said when will this end? I feel bad for him. We have only slept in the bed together like three times since this started four weeks ago. I go to our guest room and sleep He has been so patient and understanding but I think he is getting frustrated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ja...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh yeah definately hard to understand but its good he is being supportive! tell him it WILL end, youre giving the w/d two weeks notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the marital bed for the most part now... Challis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I am hoping it happens soon. My guest bed is a king too and the room is a bit colder so I definitely go there instead of my own bed when I start rolling around and not being able to sleep. I miss sleeping with my hubby.

[GH...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I got about 1 hour of sleep in every 24 hours for the first few months. Sleep gradually increased slowly over time. Now I get up to 6 hours of sleep, but mostly 4 to 5. My sister and I tried melatonin years ago. I dont think it helped me to sleep. I did notice that my dreams were very vivid. Sis was pretty freaked out by it. She said it was like hallucinating. I also know someone that takes 100 mg of melatonin along with lunesta each night. She says that it works well. Wishing you some zzzzzzzzzzzzz. good healing, fair winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ja...] Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 100 mg wow the LIQUID 5MG works very well if u take a couple shots of it I dont use any other kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
