i always have problems sleeping, especially staying asleep, because after a few hours, back is jacked, have to move. Why i often go to bed at 2 am and show up at 7.
benydryl (diphenhydramine) can work for me but sometimes upsets my stomach
both gapapentin and clonazepam are more effective but this is because i only use them for sleep - and take infrequently enough that body doesn't build up resistance. (however, this week have been taking more frequently, can't sleep, mind too active - KEK).
they work differently but both make me sleepy.
my dad took Ambien, but time released is better, i imagine - he would wake up as soon as it wore off.
i have a shaman friend who takes ambien to sleep, with no long-term ill effects. Also has back pain. Both of us go to very good chiropractors twice a week.
Sent ya'll the name of a chiro who is supposed to be topnotch. If you have not tried, might try - or ask him if there is one closer to hom.
How bout acupuncture w/reiki? That helped me too.
Every person is different, as far as drugs go. Drugs that are bad for one person will be ok for another. My own approach is not to take anything all the time but more randomly, as needed. However, while i am sore all the time, the pain i experience i experience doesn't reach an really intense pitch, although it can every so often. Just not for long enough to create the need to take drugs constantly - except with the tooth pain last month. Had to take 1000mg of ibuprofen every 4x to get relief for a few days. That's a high dose.
