Insomnia
"I changed doctors yesterday because my doctor has gotten older and forgetful. My new Doc is 30ish and a woman. I have had sleeping problems most of my life. I am 56. Two years ago my insomnia got so bad I was going 4 and 5 nights with no sleep. Old Doc had me on as many as 4 sleep medicines at one time.  Finally I worked out by problem by taking 3 mg Melatonin about 8:00  taking a hot bath, laying in bed watching boring TV, 9:00 taking 3 Valerian root supplements, just as I was going to bed taking 1 1/2 mg Xanax and 2 Tylenol simply sleep. Worked great. Now, new Doc says she will not give me Xanax, said it causes short term memory loss. She said to take 1, 2 or three 50 mg trazadone. I did last night and laid in bed all night trying to sleep."
